[LTP] [PATCH 1/2] syscalls/sendfile: Convert sendfile08 to the new API

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Xio,

> +++ b/testcases/kernel/syscalls/sendfile/sendfile08.c
I'd put your or LTP copyright (as your wish) because test was significantly
changed. (We had some copyright issues in the past thus it's better to state it.)

nit: I wonder if we want to repeat what we already declare in .min_kver.
This is not specific to this patch, we keep doing it, but IMHO necessary
and we should stop that.

nit: it looks to me that only <stdio.h> <string.h> <sys/sendfile.h> are needed.
But maybe others are needed and included in other headers.

Also only these were needed in legacy API:
#include <sys/sendfile.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include "test.h"
#include "safe_macros.h"
But <errno.h> is needed only for legacy API => use just these 3 mentioned above.

nit: sendfile08.c:43: WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
It's actually more readable to have blank line after char buf[BUFSIZ];

sendfile08.c:50: WARNING: quoted string split across lines

	if (!strncmp(buf, TEST_MSG_ALL, strlen(TEST_MSG_ALL))) {
		tst_res(TPASS, "sendfile() copied data correctly");
		return;
	}

	tst_res(TFAIL, "sendfile() copied data incorrectly: '%s', expected '%s%s'",
			buf, TEST_MSG_OUT, TEST_MSG_IN);

i.e. not splitting string, get some space by return instead else,
we don't mind using single quote (code is more readable),
removing also 2 in sendfile(2) (2 is man section, but that's just confusing).

Changes are minor, if we agre on that it can be done during merge.
