Go to file
Ian Lance Taylor 30641e36aa internal/poll: if copy_file_range returns 0, assume it failed
On current Linux kernels copy_file_range does not correctly handle
files in certain special file systems, such as /proc. For those file
systems it fails to copy any data and returns zero. This breaks Go's
io.Copy for those files.

Fix the problem by assuming that if copy_file_range returns 0 the
first time it is called on a file, that that file is not supported.
In that case fall back to just using read. This will force an extra
system call when using io.Copy to copy a zero-sized normal file,
but at least it will work correctly.

For #36817
Fixes #44272
