Bug description:

When running the test suite for Python 3.12 on ppc64le architecture, this test fails (it passes perfectly well on other architectures):

[ 6080s] FAIL: test_sendfile_close_peer_in_the_middle_of_receiving (test.test_asyncio.test_sendfile.EPollEventLoopTests.test_sendfile_close_peer_in_the_middle_of_receiving)
[ 6080s] ----------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 6080s] Traceback (most recent call last):
[ 6080s]   File "/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/Python-3.12.5/Lib/test/test_asyncio/test_sendfile.py", line 466, in test_sendfile_close_peer_in_the_middle_of_receiving
[ 6080s]     with self.assertRaises(ConnectionError):
[ 6080s] AssertionError: ConnectionError not raised

Research direction

Start with Lib/test/test_asyncio/test_sendfile.py, especially test_sendfile_close_peer_in_the_middle_of_receiving at line 466, and reproduce the failure on Linux ppc64le using the provided build log as context. Compare the test's behavior on other architectures; done means the test reliably raises ConnectionError as expected on ppc64le without regressing other platforms.
