The crash could happen if the simulator doesn't put the string terminator,
but in virtio_blk.c, the serial_show() initialize the buffer putting the
string terminator in the VIRTIO_BLK_ID_BYTES element:

    buf[VIRTIO_BLK_ID_BYTES] = '\0';
    err = virtblk_get_id(disk, buf);

This should prevent the issue, right?

However in the last patch of this series I implemented VIRTIO_BLK_T_GET_ID
support :-)

Windows, BSD, macOS, etc guest drivers aren't necessarily going to
terminate or initialize the serial string buffer.

Unfortunately I discovered that VIRTIO_BLK_T_GET_ID is not in the VIRTIO specs, so, just for curiosity, I checked the QEMU code and I found this:

    case VIRTIO_BLK_T_GET_ID:
    {
        /*
         * NB: per existing s/n string convention the string is
         * terminated by '\0' only when shorter than buffer.
         */
        const char *serial = s->conf.serial ? s->conf.serial : "";
        size_t size = MIN(strlen(serial) + 1,
                          MIN(iov_size(in_iov, in_num),
                              VIRTIO_BLK_ID_BYTES));
        iov_from_buf(in_iov, in_num, 0, serial, size);
        virtio_blk_req_complete(req, VIRTIO_BLK_S_OK);
        virtio_blk_free_request(req);
        break;
    }

It seems that the device emulation in QEMU expects that the driver terminates the serial string buffer.

Do you know why VIRTIO_BLK_T_GET_ID is not in the specs?
Should we add it?

Thanks,
Stefano


Anyway, the later patch that implements VIRTIO_BLK_T_GET_ID solves this
issue! Thanks.


Stefan
