[New-bugs-announce] [issue22396] AIX posix_fadvise and posix_fallocate

[David Edelsohn]

New submission from David Edelsohn:

As with Solaris and Issue10812, test_posix fadvise and fallocate fail on AIX.  Python is compiled with _LARGE_FILES, which changes the function signature for posix_fadvise and posix_fallocate so that off_t is "long long" on 32 bit system passed in two registers.  The Python call to those functions does not place the arguments in the correct registers, causing an EINVAL error.  This patch fixes the failures in a similar way to Solaris ZFS kludge for Issue10812.
