The read which triggers the EIO is indeed using a 4096 byte buffer:

    1396 read(17, 0x7f78214c3b30, 4096) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)

We found a simpler reproduce by than the upstart selftest which is included
in the bug linked in the commit text.  Specifically in comment 13 [1].

Thanks for looking at this.
