I managed to reproduce this again, this time by corrupting data on a btrfs
filesystem.
$ cat read_error_file.py
import os
fname = "/usr/bin/Xorg"
size = os.stat(fname).st_size
print fname, "stat size:", size
f = open(fname, "rb")
print "len(f.read()): ", len(f.read())
f.close()
f = open(fname, "rb")
for i in xrange(size):
try:
f.read(1)
except IOError:
print "IOError at byte %d" % i
break
f.close()
$ python read_error_file.py
/usr/bin/Xorg stat size: 2331776
len(f.read()): 716800
IOError at byte 716800
Note how the first test does not throw an IOError, but the second one does.
The strace for the first test is:
open("/usr/bin/Xorg", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=2331776, ...}) = 0
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=2331776, ...}) = 0
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=2331776, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x7f1334bd6000
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
mmap(NULL, 2334720, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x7f1332ea6000
read(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\265M\4\0\0\0\0\0"...,
2330624) = 716800
read(3, 0x7f1332f55034, 1613824) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
mremap(0x7f1332ea6000, 2334720, 720896, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x7f1332ea6000
munmap(0x7f1332ea6000, 720896) = 0
write(1, "len(f.read()): 716800\n", 23len(f.read()): 716800
) = 23
Note the "-1 EIO (Input/output error)" that gets ignored somewhere.
