[PATCH] fs: allow sendfile EOF at the file size limit

[PATCH] fs: allow sendfile EOF at the file size limit

[Hungyu Lin]

do_sendfile() returns EOVERFLOW when a positive-count request starts
at the effective file size limit. If the input file ends exactly at
that limit, this rejects the final EOF probe even though no bytes
remain to be copied.

For example, Python 3.12 shutil.copyfile() copies all 4294967295 bytes
of a maximum-size FAT32 file to ext4, then raises EOVERFLOW on its
next sendfile() call instead of completing successfully.

Allow the boundary position when it matches the input file size. The
existing clamp then reduces count to zero and the remaining validation
is retained. Continue to reject positions beyond the limit and boundary
positions with input data still remaining.
