Bug description:
    Make a ReiserFS partition in USB storage HDD, create a test file with
enough size.
    Write a program, do: open(O_RDONLY) - read - close. After each
operation, pause for a while, such as 3s. Between open and read, unlug the
USB wire. open returns zero-filled buffer, no error returns.

Bug analysis:
    do_mpage_readpage will call FS-specific get_block to get buffer mapped
from disk. reiserfs_get_block doesn't return non-zero when I/O failure occurs.
    reiserfs_get_block -> _get_block_create_0 -> search_by_position_by_key
search_by_position_by_key returns IO_ERROR, but the original code just simply
returns 0

research:
    if (search_for_position_by_key (inode->i_sb, &key, &path) != POSITION_FOUND) {
	pathrelse (&path);
        if (p)
            kunmap(bh_result->b_page) ;
	// We do not return -ENOENT if there is a hole but page is uptodate, because it means
	// That there is some MMAPED data associated with it that is yet to be written to disk.
	if ((args & GET_BLOCK_NO_HOLE) && !PageUptodate(bh_result->b_page) ) {
	    return -ENOENT ;
	}
        return 0 ; <- 0 retuns for IO_ERROR
    }

Way around:
    test result of search_for_position_by_key
