    archive/tar: avoid empty IO operations · 7246585f
    Joe Tsai authored
    The interfaces for io.Reader and io.Writer permit calling Read/Write
    with an empty buffer. However, this condition is often not well tested
    and can lead to bugs in various implementations of io.Reader and io.Writer.
    For example, see #22028 for buggy io.Reader in the bzip2 package.
    
    We reduce the likelihood of hitting these bugs by adjusting
    regFileReader.Read and regFileWriter.Write to avoid performing
    Read and Write calls when the buffer is known to be empty.
    
    Fixes #22029
