>Description:
sendfile(2) currupts data for files on tmpfs
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Create tmpfs and write test file
# mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /spool/tmpfs
# echo 'this is test file' > /spool/tmpfs/tt
# cat /spool/tmpfs/tt
this is test file
2. Transfer this file using sendfile. E. g. using web server from port www/nginx
# cat nginx.conf
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
default_type application/octet-stream;
access_log off;
sendfile on;
server {
listen 8081;
location / {
root /spool/tmpfs;
}
}
}
# nginx -c nginx.conf
Content of fetched file will be different garbage on each request:
# fetch -qo - http://127.0.0.1:8081/tt | hd

# fetch -qo - http://127.0.0.1:8081/tt | md5

With sendfile disbled in nginx.conf file is not corrupted,
but we need sendfile support for other application (where only sendfile supported).
