/* Maximum number of bytes to read or write in a single system call.
|
||
|
|
This can be useful for system calls like sendfile on GNU/Linux,
|
||
|
|
which do not handle more than MAX_RW_COUNT bytes correctly.
|
||
|
|
The Linux kernel MAX_RW_COUNT is at least INT_MAX >> 20 << 20,
|
||
|
|
where the 20 comes from the Hexagon port with 1 MiB pages; use that
|
||
|
|
as an approximation, as the exact value may not be available to us.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using this also works around a serious Linux bug before 2.6.16; see
|
||
|
|
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612839>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using this also works around a Tru64 5.1 bug, where attempting
|
||
|
|
to read INT_MAX bytes fails with errno == EINVAL. See
|
||
|
|
<https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnu-utils/2002-04/msg00010.html>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using this is likely to work around similar bugs in other operating
|
||
|
|
systems. */
