init: open output files from cpio unpacking with O_LARGEFILE
If a member of a cpio archive for an initrd or initrams is larger than
2Gb, we'll eventually fail to write to that file when we get to that
limit, unless O_LARGEFILE is set.
The problem can be seen with this recipe, assuming that BLK_DEV_RAM
is not configured:
cd /tmp
dd if=/dev/zero of=BIGFILE bs=1048576 count=2200
echo BIGFILE | cpio -o -H newc -R root:root > initrd.img
kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) --initrd=initrd.img --reuse-cmdline
kexec -e
The console will show 'Initramfs unpacking failed: write error'. With
the patch, the error is gone.
