sendfile has been tested to have stability issues with at least mt7621 and mvebu. With both, I've had the system reboot(no logs unfortunately). It usually happens when seeking multiple times with a single video file. A different user said disabling sendfile improved her uptime from a few hours to around 10 days.

Disable and add a comment warning the user.

Do you have a ticket for this? this would seem to be a bigger
problem than just samba, and should get solved via something more
than just disabling one part of samba. Also, I find it hard to
believe that sendfile would be broken on alllll platforms.

Sincerely,

On an archer-c7-v2 running 17.01.2 and samba with "use sendfile" enabled, no problems have been noticed (long up-time).

never had problems with samba and sendfile was always yes, even with 
hundred of days of uptime but very few usersĀ  (x86 & mvebu, win 
7,10,2016,xp)

No problem with "use sendfile = yes" on bcm53xx platform,
arm_cortex-a9, LEDE SNAPSHOT r5297-bddffc5 (and preceding development
releases), running for a long time (weeks or months), used daily by
several users.
