As preadv and pwritev accept off_t type the prototypes should be declared
as follows

extern ssize_t preadv (int __fd, const struct iovec *__iovec, int __count,
                       off_t __offset) __wur;


extern ssize_t pwritev (int __fd, const struct iovec *__iovec, int __count,
                        off_t __offset) __wur;

to take into account _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 define.

I am not sure but probably it is better to redeclare these prototypes
by analogy with sendfile using __REDIRECT_NTH.

Hi Sergey,
what does the patch fixes?
Compiler warnings? Runtime issues? ...

best regards
 Waldemar

This patch fixes a size of 4th argument in a prototype
in case of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to match an implementation
on 32 bit architectures

#ifdef __NR_pwritev
ssize_t
pwritev (int fd, const struct iovec *vector, int count, off_t offset)
{
  unsigned long pos_l, pos_h;

  pos_h = (unsigned long)((long long)offset >> 32);
  pos_l = (unsigned long)((long long)offset);

  return INLINE_SYSCALL (pwritev, 5, fd, vector, count, pos_l, pos_h);
}
#endif

A simple test program compiled with gcc 7.3 and -Wconversion

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <sys/uio.h>

int main()
{
    const off_t ofs = INT64_MAX;

    pwritev(0, NULL, 0, ofs);

    return 0;
}

gives a warning

test.c:9:22: warning: conversion to '__off_t {aka long int}' from 'off_t
{aka const long long int}' may alter its value [-Wconversion]
  pwritev(0, NULL, 0, ofs);
                      ^~~

Without the patch the prototype tells a compiler to pass only 32 bits
to preadv/pwritev definitions that gives a corrupted offset value.
