Thanks for analyzing.

I guess this means I screwed up when I said I'd merged the kernel patch
that Yury did to fix it, sorry about that.

We need the patch to make all new architecture in the kernel default to
O_LARGEFILE, and not do this in user space. I'd suggest now to keep the
patches as part of the ILP32 series after all, to make sure they are
merged at the point when they are needed.

I am a little bit confuse about off_t. In "[PATCH 08/33] 32-bit
ABI: introduce ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T config option", it mentioned that all
the new 32bit architecture should use 64bit off_t.

Ah, so it is part of the series. I had not checked that here.


I'm preparing new submission now.
Cool:)

Arnd?
I am curious which one is more easily to get ack:p

Should we define off_t in aarch64(for both ilp32 and lp64) in
typesize.h as following?

Then we could remove the __USE_FILE_OFFSET64 in stat.h and fcnt.h in
aarch64. And truncate and ftruncate is same as truncate64 and
ftruncate64.

I don't know what the glibc developers prefer, but I think the
result needs to be something like that: either __OFF_T_TYPE is
defined as you write above as a 64-bit type, or the user-visible
off_t typedef unconditionally uses __OFF64_T_TYPE rather than
__OFF_T_TYPE.


I'm not the glibc developer as well, but I think it's OK.
IIUC, it is usually what glibc does.
If we want to define off_t to 64bit in ilp32, the follow syscall may
need to define as non-compat too:
sys_fadvise64
sys_sendfile
sys_sendfile64
sys_lseek
sys_splice
sys_sync_file_range2
sys_truncate
sys_ftruncate

Otherwise we need to handle the pad like yury do it in
stat.h, and we need to handle the bigendian as well:

I see.

This would indeed be silly, we really don't want anyone
to access the old __st_ino field or the 32-bit version of
the offset here.
