[PATCH 3/3] sendfile: fix sendfile

From: Changli Gao
Date: Wed May 26 2010 - 05:57:32 EST


fix sendfile

the flags parameter of splice() doesn't mean non-block read of in file, but
non-block read/write of pipe. As the reader and writer of process internal
pipe is the process itself, we don't need this flags.

If output file is in non-block mode, in file should be seekable to avoid data
losing.

do_splice_from() shouldn't use sd->pos, as sd->pos is for file reading,
file->f_pos should be used instead.
