• 8f9c0119d   compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation ... Browse Code »

  This function is used by sparc, powerpc and arm64 for compat support.
  The patch adds a generic implementation which calls do_sendfile()
  directly and avoids set_fs().

  The sparc architecture has wrappers for the sign extensions while
  powerpc relies on the compiler to do the this. The patch adds wrappers
  for powerpc to handle the u32->int type conversion.

  compat_sys_sendfile64() can be replaced by a sys_sendfile() call since
  compat_loff_t has the same size as off_t on a 64-bit system.

  On powerpc, the patch also changes the 64-bit sendfile call from
  sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile.
