Subject: 2.6 and sendfile()
Date: Sat, 29 May 2004 15:09:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1085836181.648.10.camel@boxen> (raw)
2.6 no longer seems to support copying files via sys_sendfile(), only
files to sockets. It gets stuck at do_sendfile()
if (!out_file->f_op || !out_file->f_op->sendpage)
None of the file systems has a sendpage function, is this intentional?
After googling around I saw this has resulted in some broken programs.
Was the semantics of sendfile() simply changed and in that case why,
cause it should be a bit of a speed booster to many applications.
