[PATCH] Fix fileoffset option

1. The job file we prepared:
----------offset-----------------
[global]
filename=./temp/HOWTO
nrfiles=1
rw=read
size=8K
offset=16k
bs=1k
thread
loops=10
[offset]
description="Option 'offset' doesn't work."
---------------------------------
Besides, we copied the file HOWTO to the directory ./temp/.
So we thought fio would read 8K text sequentially from the point 16K off
the beginning of HOWTO.

we run fio with gdb to see what was read out after the first io, and we
got this:
---------------------------------
... ...
(gdb) bt
from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0
(gdb) x/4w io_u->xfer_buf
0x8073f08:      0x6c626154      0x666f2065      0x6e6f6320
0x746e6574
(gdb)
---------------------------------
The above was performed after the first io finished by td_io_queue.
The contents read out as we can see was the ASCII codes for 'Table of
content', which was right from the beginning of file HOWTO.
That means fio read from the beginning but not the point 16K off the
beginning.Is that right?

2. Reason for the problem:
It seems the offset is saved in td->o.start_offset. But it isn't passed
to  f->file_offset.And the setting up of f->io_size doesn't refer to
f->file_offset.

--------------------------------------------------------

And now we can check it with gdb:
--------------------------------------------------------
... ...
(gdb) bt
from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0
(gdb) x/4w io_u->xfer_buf
0x8073f08:      0x206b636f      0x7420666f      0x66206568
0x20656c69
(gdb)
---------------------------------------------------------
After the first io, I got '0x206b636f 0x7420666f 0x66206568 0x20656c69'
read out.And they represent the string 'ock of the file '.Then i search
the string in HOWTO and got only one line containing the string:
'norandommap Normally fio will cover every block of the file when doing'
I removed the text following that line in HOWTO, and then I found that
the size of the rest text in HOWTO was 16K, which equaled to the offset
we set in job file.
So I think the option 'offset' does work after the changes.

In fact, I am not sure of the fix, but i do hope it can help.

This job file caused another non-stop thread, which was asked to read
96K but only provided two files of 32K each. The running information
kept looking like this:

Jobs: 1 (f=2): [r] [66.7% done] [     0/     0 kb/s] [eta 00m:51s]
---------------------------------

2. The reason:
After having covered both the two files, the thread still had 32K to
issued, while there were already no available files on hand.
I agree that it is far from a bug.Maybe it was the job file that we
should blame. It was wrong written from the beginning.But why not make
it more gentle if we can?

3. Fix suggestion:
So what about change it like this?
Just limit the max td->o.size with the total_size that all the files can
provide.

Fix verify random bytes filling

Shawn Lewis <shawnlewis@google.com> reports:

---

verify.c: fill_random_bytes() doesn't work as intended.

drand48 on linux returns a double whose value is evenly distributed between
0.0 and 0.1. This is not the same as having an 8-byte value where each bit
has the same chance of being 0 as it does of being 1.

I'd fix this but it should probably be done in a cross-platformish way and
I'm not quite sure how to do it. Maybe just use smaller randoms? Have an
os_random_uint32?

function fails, and the file will be marked as DONE.We wonder if that is

(gdb) p io_u->file->real_file_size
$3 = 65536

2. Reason for the core dump:
The io_u->offset+io_u->buflen was too large to be map in the map file.
They just produced an idx out of the file_map's range.

The fix I produced made sure that get_next_buflen() doesn't go
beyond the real file size, by shrinking the buflen.
