From 01db403cf99f739f86903314a489fb420e0e254f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 20:24:54 -0700 Subject: tcp: Fix >4GB writes on 64-bit. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603 tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write zero bytes, for example. There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return value. However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.
