Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

zonefs: fix zonefs_iomap_begin() for reads

If a readahead is issued to a sequential zone file with an offset
exactly equal to the current file size, the iomap type is set to
IOMAP_UNWRITTEN, which will prevent an IO, but the iomap length is
calculated as 0. This causes a WARN_ON() in iomap_iter():

Furthermore, this causes iomap_readahead() to loop forever as
iomap_readahead_iter() always returns 0, making no progress.

Fix this by treating reads after the file size as access to holes,
setting the iomap type to IOMAP_HOLE, the iomap addr to IOMAP_NULL_ADDR
and using the length argument as is for the iomap length. To simplify
the code with this change, zonefs_iomap_begin() is split into the read
variant, zonefs_read_iomap_begin() and zonefs_read_iomap_ops, and the
write variant, zonefs_write_iomap_begin() and zonefs_write_iomap_ops.
