Nigel Tamplin reported getting a seg fault in xfsrestore when a path
name was too long.

Based on the surrounding code, I'm sure strerror(errno) was the
intended final argument to this call.  This bug has been there
since the code was first committed.

Hi Alex,

You say...

I'm not so sure.

The condition is comparing path length to max length, not detecting a previously failed system call (like the surrounding code)- as such I don't think the value of errno is relevant and the fix should be the removal of one of the format specifiers instead of the addition of the argument.

Here's a contrived example:

# cd /tmp
root@tulip:/tmp# mkdir mnt1
root@tulip:/tmp# mkdir mnt2
root@tulip:/tmp# dd if=/dev/zero of=block1 bs=4096 count=4096
root@tulip:/tmp# dd if=/dev/zero of=block2 bs=4096 count=4096
root@tulip:/tmp# mount -o loop /tmp/block1 /tmp/mnt1
root@tulip:/tmp# mount -o loop /tmp/block2 /tmp/mnt2
root@tulip:/tmp# socat UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/mnt1/socket STDOUT &

unpatched xfsrestore outputs

note the "(null)".
(I fully expected this to segfault like it does on the dump file that caused me to notice this bug in the first place, but this being an example rather than 4 hours into an actual restore just before the holidays, it gets away with displaying "null" - how I wish it had been the other way around...)


with the patch as per your previous email xfsrestore outputs
xfsrestore: WARNING: pathname too long for bind of UNIX domain socket ino 19332 11111111112222222222333333333344444444445555555555666666666677777777778888888888999999999900000000AAAAAAAAAA: No such file or directory: discarding

But I've a feeling the "No such file or directory:" message is unrelated and just happens to be a left over value in errno.


whereas by removing the final specifier instead of adding the extra argument then xfrestore outputs xfsrestore: WARNING: pathname too long for bind of UNIX domain socket ino 19332 11111111112222222222333333333344444444445555555555666666666677777777778888888888999999999900000000AAAAAAAAAA: discarding

Which I think is the correct message (with no chance of a left over errno value confusing it)

What do you think ?

Either way this is a minor issue now as either adding the argument or removing the format specifier avoids the segfault which was fatal.

Nigel
