If you meant that there is no need for a loop, then indeed,
looks like eio__sendfile can handle partial writes by self.
Still it comes from commit

    core/coio_file: Use eio_sendfile_sync instead of a chunk mode
    
    eio library provides a portable version of sendfile syscall
    which works a way more efficient than explicit copying file
    by 4K chunks.

we've left this cycle here to be able to test partial transfers.
Probably worth to simply drop it off by now, the commit is more
than year old and I think we can assume that everything is tested
enoough and we don't need error injection in this code anymore.
