    compat: use sys_sendfile64() implementation for sendfile syscall · 1631fcea

    <asm-generic/unistd.h> was set up to use sys_sendfile() for the 32-bit
    compat API instead of sys_sendfile64(), but in fact the right thing to
    do is to use sys_sendfile64() in all cases.  The 32-bit sendfile64() API
    in glibc uses the sendfile64 syscall, so it has to be capable of doing
    full 64-bit operations.  But the sys_sendfile() kernel implementation
    has a MAX_NON_LFS test in it which explicitly limits the offset to 2^32.
    So, we need to use the sys_sendfile64() implementation in the kernel
    for this case.
