sendfile/sendfile64 is meant to be run in a loop, since there is no guarantee that a single call copies all the data.
The current implementation may lead to corrupt files on linux.

maybe sendfile indeed needs a loop but sendfile64 does not? I don't find any information the limitation of sendfile64.

Maybe there is no need to use sendfile64, actually, it seems Linux-specific
