414067 - pt_LinuxSendFile failures on RHEL3 and RHEL4

Status: NEW

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect)

Description

[glen beasley]

While looking into bug 307576 for the nspr test "socket" it fails (cores) in the function Socket_Misc_Test of RHEL3 and RHEL4 when it calls the function: pt_LinuxSendFile. 

If I change the code in pt_SendFile to call PR_EmulateSendFile rather than pt_LinuxSendFile the test "socket" runs successfully. 

when pt_LinuxSendFile is called once the current test "socket" cores on the assertion 

http://mxr.mozilla.org/nspr/source/nsprpub/pr/src/pthreads/ptio.c#2623

the test "socket" will leave behind the directory 
/tmp/prsocket_test_dir and then on the next excution the test "socket" fails on making the directory. So you have to manually delete the /tmp/prsocket_test_dir directory. 

If I remove the two assertions for pt_LinuxSendFile and pt_linux_sendfile_cont then run the test 
I then see
prsocket_test: TransmitFile_Client ERROR - large file data corruption
SendFile 2. ERROR - large file data corruption
socket: Error - 5. PR_SendFile send_size = 1049163, bytes sent = -1
prsocket_test: PR_SendFile failed: (-5961, 32)
socket: Error - 6. PR_SendFile send_size = 2112, bytes sent = -1

The function pt_LinuxSendFile was introduced in 2002
