io_uring marks a request as dealing with a regular file on S_ISREG. This
drives things like retries on short reads or writes, which is generally
not expected on a regular file (or bdev). Applications tend to not
expect that, so io_uring tries hard to ensure it doesn't deliver short
IO on regular files.
However, a recent commit added S_IFREG to anonymous inodes. When
io_uring is used to read from various things that are backed by anon
inodes, like eventfd, timerfd, etc, then it'll now all of a sudden wait
for more data when rather than deliver what was read or written in a
single operation. This breaks applications that issue reads on anon
inodes, if they ask for more data than a single read delivers.
Add a check for !S_ANON_INODE as well before setting REQ_F_ISREG to
prevent that.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
