FAILED: patch "[PATCH] io_uring: make offset == -1 consistent with preadv2/pwritev2" failed to apply to 5.8-stable tree

[gregkh]

The patch below does not apply to the 5.8-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit
id to <stable@vger.kernel.org>.

thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: make offset == -1 consistent with preadv2/pwritev2

The man page for io_uring generally claims were consistent with what
preadv2 and pwritev2 accept, but turns out there's a slight discrepancy
in how offset == -1 is handled for pipes/streams. preadv doesn't allow
it, but preadv2 does. This currently causes io_uring to return -EINVAL
if that is attempted, but we should allow that as documented.

This change makes us consistent with preadv2/pwritev2 for just passing
in a NULL ppos for streams if the offset is -1.
