Hi All, Here?s the situation. In the NonStop port, since time immemorial, we?ve had a breakage in 5509 that I?ve finally had the chance to track down. The error report at the breakage is: ./trash directory.t5509-fetch-push-namespaces/original: GIT_TRACE=true GIT_PACKET_TRACE=true GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG=true git push pushee-namespaced master 11:55:02.512020 trace: built-in: git 'push' 'pushee-namespaced' 'master' 11:55:02.600895 trace: run_command: 'git-remote-ext' 'pushee-namespaced' 'git --namespace=namespace %s ../pushee' 11:55:02.610439 trace: built-in: git 'remote-ext' 'pushee-namespaced' 'git --namespace=namespace %s ../pushee' 11:55:02.612643 trace: run_command: 'git' '--namespace=namespace' 'receive-pack' '../pushee' 11:55:02.622553 trace: built-in: git 'receive-pack' '../pushee' Transfer loop debugging: stdin is readable error: read(stdin) failed: Invalid function argument Transfer loop debugging: remote input is readable error: read(remote input) failed: Invalid function argument error: Git to program copy process failed fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. transport-helper.c uses read instead of wrapper.c?s xread to do its work. It looks like when the buffer size calculation is done passed into read, we?re getting a very large value, more than SSIZE_MAX. In udt_do_read: bytes = read(t->src, t->buf + t->bufuse, BUFFERSIZE - t->bufuse); generates EINVAL. This may be because unidirectional_transfer.bufuse is size_t instead of ssize_t. I can try to fix this a number of ways, but it seems that xread is likely the way to go. udt_do_write already uses xwrite. I?m looking to fix on or after 2.13.5 (7234152). Opinions?
