From 649a81bcd6445d3b00f400cd6017d184bf0aaa25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tuomas Tynkkynen Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 15:06:46 +0200 Subject: nix-daemon: Don't splice with len=SIZE_MAX Currently, 'nix-daemon --stdio' is always failing for me, due to the splice call always failing with (on a 32-bit host): splice(0, NULL, 3, NULL, 4294967295, SPLICE_F_MOVE) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) With a bit of ftracing (and luck) the problem seems to be that splice() always fails with EINVAL if the len cast as ssize_t is negative: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/fs/read_write.c?v=4.4#L384 So use SSIZE_MAX instead of SIZE_MAX. --- src/nix-daemon/nix-daemon.cc | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/nix-daemon/nix-daemon.cc b/src/nix-daemon/nix-daemon.cc index f3ee0afc11e7..3b43ddfa16d5 100644 --- a/src/nix-daemon/nix-daemon.cc +++ b/src/nix-daemon/nix-daemon.cc @@ -23,6 +23,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #if __APPLE__ || __FreeBSD__ #include @@ -967,14 +968,14 @@ int main(int argc, char * * argv) if (select(nfds, &fds, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr) == -1) throw SysError("waiting for data from client or server"); if (FD_ISSET(s, &fds)) { - auto res = splice(s, nullptr, STDOUT_FILENO, nullptr, SIZE_MAX, SPLICE_F_MOVE); + auto res = splice(s, nullptr, STDOUT_FILENO, nullptr, SSIZE_MAX, SPLICE_F_MOVE); if (res == -1) throw SysError("splicing data from daemon socket to stdout"); else if (res == 0) throw EndOfFile("unexpected EOF from daemon socket"); } if (FD_ISSET(STDIN_FILENO, &fds)) { - auto res = splice(STDIN_FILENO, nullptr, s, nullptr, SIZE_MAX, SPLICE_F_MOVE); + auto res = splice(STDIN_FILENO, nullptr, s, nullptr, SSIZE_MAX, SPLICE_F_MOVE); if (res == -1) throw SysError("splicing data from stdin to daemon socket"); else if (res == 0) -- cgit 1.4.1
