Subject: sendfile: several fixes
From: Mandeep Singh Baines <msb@xxxxxxxxxx>
Three fixes for sendfile, mostly related to sending large files from pseudo
filesystems:
- Fix sendfile for offsets > 300G. This can happen with pseudo filesystems.
This happens because the overflow check is using inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes
and not the superblock of the backing device's s_maxbytes. For a regular file
these are interchangible but for a special file these are different and you
want the latter.
- Don't compare against the max of the out_inode's superblock. Doesn't make
sense.
- For pseudo and other filesystems with s_maxbytes set to ~0ULL, max ends up
holding a negative number as it is signed. Check for and correct that.
