reassign 739674 src:libtirpc
tag 739674 + patch
thanks
Hi,
When trying to setup a inet connection, it happens the following:
- in libtirp, src/clnt_vc.c, clnt_vc_create gets called
- when trying to allocate vc_fd_locks, __rpc_dtbsize() is used as size
for that array of fd locks
- __rpc_dtbsize(), in src/rpc_generic.c, queries using rlimit the
maximum (rlim_max) number of file descriptors (RLIMIT_NOFILE):
- on Linux, the default is { rlim_cur = 1024, rlim_max = 4096 }
- on kFreeBSD, the default is { rlim_cur = 1024, rlim_max = 1024 }
- on Hurd, the default is { rlim_cur = 1024, rlim_max = RLIM_INFINITY
}
meaning that on Hurd the memory allocation fails (as
__rpc_dtbsize() * sizeof(int) overflows and is negative)
Attached there is a patch for libtiprc so __rpc_dtbsize falls back on
rlim_cur if rlim_max is unlimited.
The patch fixes the client connection using inet sockets; local unix
sockets are not working, for two reasons so far:
- getpeername on them gives EOPNOTSUPP
- SO_REUSEADDR is not implemented for them
Thanks,
