So this is probably a generic vfs issue (probably in sendfile). Next
steps is probably for someone to do a bisection search covering
changes to the fs/ and mm/ directories. This should exclude bogus
changes in the networking layer, although it does seem that there is
something very badly wrong which is breaking bisectability, if you
can't even scp to the system under test for certain commit ranges. :-( :-( :-(
