It's consistently reproducible for me on xfs with HEAD at:
eb26cbb1a754 ("Merge tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v6.5-2' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86")

Replacing "ret" with "iter.pos - iocb->ki_pos" here doesn't look
equivalent to original,
because you already updated "iocb->ki_pos" few lines above.

Wouldn't it be enough to bring the old condition back?
