Why isn't there a sendfile64?
because nobody has implemented on -- arguably it's not needed; the different between:
sendfile64(...)
and
while(blah){ sendfile( ... 1G or so ...) }
probably won't be detectable anyhow. I see no reason why sendfile64 should be purely user-space (then again, I see no reason why not to extend the kernel API as is, but last time I tested it is was busted WRT signals so I would rather that be fixed before further proliferation there).
