Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fincore: Handle large files on 32 bit without LFS
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2018 20:27:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180225192758.GB5871@localhost> (raw)

If util-linux is installed on a system without large file support,
an out of memory issue can occur while processing a file which is
2 GB in size:

$ ./configure --disable-largefile && make

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=2gb-file seek=2147483646 count=1 bs=1
$ fincore 2gb-file
(endless loop)
fincore: failed to do mmap: 2gb-file: Cannot allocate memory

Even though iterating with "len" seems counter-intuitive, it fixes
this issue. The variable len is only in the last iteration not a
multiplication of pagesize -- which is the requirement for mmap.
