The specification of [sendfile()](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sendfile.2.html) states that it will transfer at most `0x7ffff000` (`LINUX_MAX_TRANSFER_SIZE`) bytes. So here we are only checking for an aberration which is not essential to the test. The important content is when `transferTo()` is supposed to actually copy the full length in one shot. This Linux part of the test is just a drive-by sanity check.

Thanks for the explanation. Then I would think adding the same check in the loop for consistency, i.e., check the transferred size `n` in one shot is no more than `LINUX_MAX_TRANSFER_SIZE`  after line 98.
