Subject: [9fans] bug in ape?
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 12:22:40 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <13426df10712181222w2b60d0f0y31ca1522a16e4e9e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

The ssh2 always fails with copious data. I.e. lots of data comes in,
and the proc reading from the socket at some point fails.

I see this go by:
pread(4, 0x06000508, 8192, 4294967295)
	return value: 7520
	data: 0x06000508, 7520

Note the offset is x508, and we read 7520 bytes, which, if the buffer
is 8k, is an overrun.

The ape code is this:
static void
_copyproc(int fd, Muxbuf *b)
{
	unsigned char *e;
	int n;
	int nzeros;

	e = &b->data[PERFDMAX];
	for(;;) {
		/* make sure there's room */
		lock(&mux->lock);
		if(e - b->putnext < READMAX) {
			if(b->getnext == b->putnext) {
				b->getnext = b->putnext = b->data;
				unlock(&mux->lock);
			} else {
				/* sleep until there's room */
				b->roomwait = 1;
				unlock(&mux->lock);
				_RENDEZVOUS((unsigned long)&b->roomwait, 0);
			}
		} else
			unlock(&mux->lock);
		/*
		 * A Zero-length _READ might mean a zero-length write
		 * happened, or it might mean eof; try several times to
		 * disambiguate (posix read() discards 0-length messages)
		 */
		nzeros = 0;
		do {
			n = _READ(fd, b->putnext, READMAX); <<<<<<<<<============= this line
			if(b->fd == -1) {
				_exit(0);		/* we've been closed */
			}
		} while(n == 0 && ++nzeros < 3);
		lock(&mux->lock);

note the _READ above. It always calls with READMAX. I don't know yet
what putnext can be (in range), but this is a data point. I am posting
this as there may be someone who has seen it before.
