Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: return end of file for reads past a named stream's
data

A READ on a non-empty named stream at or beyond its end fails with STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER. ksmbd_vfs_stream_read() returns -EINVAL when the offset is not below the stream length, and smb2_read() maps -EINVAL to that status.

smb2_read() already turns a zero-byte read into STATUS_END_OF_FILE, the status a regular file returns at its end, and an empty stream already takes that path. Return 0 instead of -EINVAL so that non-empty streams do the same. Clients that read a stream until end of file otherwise get an error once they have read all of its data.

The buffered copychunk path converts a zero-byte source read to -EIO, as it does for a regular file that shrinks during copying.
