Jens Axboe has confirmed that short reads are rare but can happen:

The luring_resubmit_short_read() comment claimed they were only due to a
specific io_uring bug that was fixed in Linux commit 9d93a3f5a0c
("io_uring: punt short reads to async context"), which is wrong.
Dominique Martinet found that a btrfs bug also causes short reads. There
may be more kernel code paths that result in short reads.

Let's consider short reads fair game.
