We truncated the possible read iterator to s_maxbytes in commitc2a9737f45("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()"), but our end condition handling was wrong: it's not an error to try to read at the end of the file. Reading past the end should return EOF (0), not EINVAL. See for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1649342 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2016-12/msg00008.html where a md5sum of a maximally sized file fails because the final read is exactly at s_maxbytes.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
