Use IOV_MAX and UIO_MAXIOV constants in limit vectored I/O

[Thomasdezeeuw]

Also updates the libc dependency to 0.2.77 (from 0.2.74) as the
constants were only recently added.

CI failed due to clock drift, could someone restart it?

You have to update Cargo.lock too: cargo update -p libc.

@lzutao I'm ok with doing that, but how is that related to the clock drift?

Also I couldn't get it to only update the libc dependency, is alright to update other dependencies as well?

[tesuji]

I don't know what clock drift is, but the main problem why CI failed is that
CI enforces Cargo.lock integrity.

error: failed to write /checkout/Cargo.lock
Caused by:
failed to open: /checkout/Cargo.lock

Running cargo update -p libc will update only libc crate.

I don't know what clock drift is,

Clock drift is when the local clock's reported time differs from the "correct" time as reported by a known good clock.

Running cargo update -p libc will update only libc crate.

This failed initially, but I got it to work. Thanks.

CI is complaining about an unneeded unsafe block in library/std/src/sys/unix/process/process_unix.rs, but I didn't touch that file.

[Amanieu]

It's because you updated the libc dependency. You should fix these errors.

[Thomasdezeeuw]

On macOS those function do require unsafe (that's why it didn't show up in my local testing). The definition on Linux: https://docs.rs/libc/0.2.77/libc/fn.WTERMSIG.html (no unsafe), vs https://docs.rs/libc/0.2.77/x86_64-apple-darwin/libc/fn.WTERMSIG.html (unsafe). I've opened rust-lang/libc#1888 for this.

@Amanieu would you be ok with putting #[allow(unused_unsafe)] around them for now? With a comment linking to rust-lang/libc#1888.

[Amanieu]

Put it under a linux-only #[cfg_attr] and add a comment linking to the issue.

[Thomasdezeeuw]

@Amanieu CI is now green.
