[PATCH] rust: dma: return zero for Coherent reads past EOF

From: Younes Akhouayri via B4 Relay

Date: Mon Jul 20 2026 - 15:22:40 EST


From: Younes Akhouayri <git@xxxxxxxxx>

Coherent<T>::write_to_slice() calculates a zero-byte copy when the file
offset is beyond the allocation, but still calls
UserSliceWriter::write_dma(). The latter rejects offsets beyond the
allocation even when the copy length is zero, so a debugfs read past EOF
returns -ERANGE.

Return before calling write_dma() when the offset is at or beyond the
allocation, matching simple_read_from_buffer() EOF semantics.
