sendfile() calls can hang endless with using Kernel TLS if a socket error occurs. Socket error codes must be inverted by Kernel TLS before returning because they are stored with positive sign. If returned non-inverted they are interpreted as number of bytes sent, causing endless looping of the splice mechanic behind sendfile().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
