[GIT PULL] io_uring work-around for S_IFREG anon inodes

[GIT PULL] io_uring work-around for S_IFREG anon inodes

[Jens Axboe]

Hi Linus,

Sending this one out early as the patch that broke io_uring is already in
6.15.4 stable, and I'd like to get the fix included for 6.15.5.

tldr is that now that anonymous inodes set S_IFREG, this breaks the
io_uring read/write retries for short reads/writes. As things like
timerfd and eventfd are anon inodes, applications that previously did:

unsigned long event_data[2];

io_uring_prep_read(sqe, evfd, event_data, sizeof(event_data), 0);

and just got a short read when 1 event was posted, will now wait for the
full amount before posting a completion. This caused issues for the
ghostty application, making it basically unusable due to excessive
buffering.

Please pull!
