fincore: Handle large files correctly on 32 bit
PATCH 1/2 fincore: Handle large files correctly on 32 bit
If a file is larger than 4 GB on a 32 bit system with large file support (default), it can happen that not all pages are properly processed. This happens due to an int truncation (off_t vs size_t).
You can reproduce this on 32 bit with these commands:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=4gb-file seek=4294967295 count=1 bs=1 $ fincore 4gb-file fincore: failed to do mmap: 4gb-file: Invalid argument
If a file is larger than 4 GB, the first few pages of a file won't be properly processed. "len" will be smaller than window_size, but the for-loop iterates "window_size" bytes, skipping some pages.
