This EOF return code causes the userspace test to (correctly) report a zero-length read error when it was expecting otherwise. The current strategy of returning a partial non-zero read when ->readpage returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE works only when the failed page is not the first of the lot being processed. This patch attempts to retry lookup and call ->readpage again on pages that had previously failed with AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. With this patch, my tests pass and I haven't noticed any unwanted side effects. This version removes the thrice-retry loop and instead indefinitely retries lookups on AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE errors from ->readpage.
