Without xsize_t() around size passed in the call to stream_to_pack(), you may silently be truncating off_t down to size_t in this function. > @@ -258,7 +258,7 @@ static int deflate_to_pack(struct bulk_checkin_state *state, > } > > int index_bulk_checkin(struct object_id *oid, > - int fd, size_t size, enum object_type type, > + int fd, off_t size, enum object_type type, > const char *path, unsigned flags) > { > int status = deflate_to_pack(&state, oid, fd, size, type, This one is a thin wrapper around deflate_to_pack() above. Its sole caller is sha1-file.c::index_stream() and takes size_t from its callers, and passes size_t to index_bulk_checkin(). The sole caller of index_stream(), sha1-file.c::index_fd(), wants to pass st->st_size, and it uses xsize_t() because index_stream() and callchain underneath currently take size_t. You want that callchain to take off_t with this patch. The whole purpose of stream_to_pack() is to take potentially large input from the file on the filesystem, chop that into manageable chunks and feed the underlying hashing and deflating machinery that takes possibly smaller integer types to represent the sizes of data they take in a single call, so once that function is taught to take ofs_t I think you can say you converted the entire callchain from index_fd() down. So, this looks like a good starting step, but I suspect it needs one more level of digging for it to become truly useful.
