[LTP] [PATCH] syscalls/sendfile: Delete unnecessary loop logic in do_child()

[xieziyao <xieziyao@huawei.com>]

Hi, Cyril,

I just made changes to sendfile04 and sendfile05 on your suggestions:
1. Convert sendfile04 to the new API;
2. Remove the socket code of server/client and use SAFE_SOCKETPAIR() instead, which can simplify the code logic.

And I think the other testcases of the sendfile testsuite have the same problem. Can we please modify other testcases in the same way?

Please see: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ltp/list/?series=240489

Best Regards,
Ziyao

Of course, I'm interested in modifying the testcases that way, and I'll submit another version to fix the problem.

Thanks for your review, Cyril.

Best Regards,
Ziyao

Hi!
Looking at the code the sendfile04 and sendfile05 does not need 99% of the code in the tests, as a matter of fact it even breaks the tests with sufficiently large -i parameter.

Can we please instead remove all the server and socket code from
sendfile04 and sendfile05? We can just easily pass in_fd and out_fd pointing to a regular files to the sendfile() syscall instead.
