Subject: libceph: gracefully handle large reply messages from the mon
From: Sage Weil <sage@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 73c3d4812b4c755efeca0140f606f83772a39ce4 upstream.
We preallocate a few of the message types we get back from the mon. If we
get a larger message than we are expecting, fall back to trying to allocate
a new one instead of blindly using the one we have.
