This one is fixed here:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51983

We have yet to update the ‘guix’ package though.

We could do that, but then /var/cache/guix/publish would needed to be
cleaned up as well.  It’s a bit tedious doable.  (I don’t plan to work
on it right now because I’m trying to focus on other things.)

Thanks,

I thought this did prevent substitution, at least I have problems:

→ guix build --substitute-urls=https://ci.guix.gnu.org 
/gnu/store/q6qa5s2z2l20q25qpxyfv1wni5wwhk24-flightgear-2018.3.5
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0%

Maybe the database could be queried to find the affected items, then
they could be GC'd?

At last I found the culprit (me! :-)).  This is fixed by commit
f9b1bb916c284bea00dd5549a43e0894b219d650.

The reason ci.guix would experience it and not bayfront is because the
Cuirass worker mechanism relies on substitutes to retrieve files from a
worker, and this is how it would end up storing a negative size.

We’ll have to upgrade the ‘guix’ package and deploy it on berlin.  I
don’t think it’s easily feasible to fix existing entries in the store
database and (more importantly) narinfos so I’d just leave them around;
the bogus nar size propagates but it’s harmless and doesn’t prevent
substitution.

Thoughts?

I thought so too (commit 13a7d2a538b00aa0a8cf9b999f1a4ff3e5959af9)!
So we must be using another code path.

Mathieu, these store items get registered via an RPC, or via (guix store
database)?

Since I've scanned all the narinfos for a recent revision, I thought I'd
update this issue with the broken narinfos that ci.guix.gnu.org is
currently serving (just for a recent revision):

  /gnu/store/s18pfbv3a9sf61rh29m1i8vdznwjlny7-repeat-masker-4.1.1

  /gnu/store/q6qa5s2z2l20q25qpxyfv1wni5wwhk24-flightgear-2018.3.5

I think there were safeguards put in place to avoid bad data making it's
way in to the store database? If so, maybe the store item could be gc'd
on berlin, and the cached narinfos deleted, and that would clean things
up?

That's strange. There's nothing really special about how Cuirass builds
its stuff. It's a plain "build-derivations" call in the "cuirass
remote-worker" process. This process only builds stuff and report it
using (simple-zmq).

A memory corruption in that module also seems unlikely, as there are
almost 30 instances of this process running nicely for days.

Mathieu

Right now berlin is running guix-1.2.0-13.a53f711, which AFAICS includes
the narsize bound checking added in 13a7d2a538b00aa0a8cf9b999f1a4ff3e5959af9.

This only ensures that narsize is positive.  Could it be that wrapping
happens in sqlite itself?  Or could it be that Cuirass itself uses an
older version of (guix store database)?

Hmm, looks like you're right! There's a memory corruption in the
remote-server process that's really hard to reproduce. I suspect the ZMQ
library or its Guile bindings.

I'm trying to valgrind the process to identify the issue, without much
success for now.

Hmm I don’t think so.

The bug here is likely due to 32-bit signed integer wrapping.  That can
only happen in C code, so to me possible culprits would be
guile-simple-zmq or the layer above it (if there’s a binary protocol
involved) or the postgresql interface.  Only a vague intuition, though.

I didn't look closely to this problem yet. However, I fixed an issue
with locales in the remote building mechanism that caused publish server

I guess ‘guix substitute --query’ reads the narinfo, passes the negative
integer as is to the daemon (for ‘query-path-info’ RPCs), which
rightfully complains.

It would be nice for ‘guix publish’ to not emit broken narinfos, and
perhaps we can also add extra checks in the (guix narinfo) reader.

With commit 13a7d2a538b00aa0a8cf9b999f1a4ff3e5959af9, ‘register-items’ &
co. will now detect invalid nar size values early on.

The key point here is that ‘narSize’ in the database is negative:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
sqlite> select * from validpaths where path = 
'/gnu/store/qhix6afvy2a6n7hlx4qgdns461p8kdnv-repeat-masker-4.1.1';
43262123|/gnu/store/qhix6afvy2a6n7hlx4qgdns461p8kdnv-repeat-masker-4.1.1|sha256:33328e16d8d83dcf1a6e031598dbc517aff18e6c7ccd55f7894102bab55fcdb9|1611849907|/gnu/store/rr532q5fmwj1gafdgk6nhxg9khnbsw3z-repeat-masker-4.1.1.drv|-2097113072
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

The actual nar size in this case is just above 2³¹ so most likely we’re
seeing a signed integer wrapping error.

I believe this is a very recent regression (the registration data for
the item above is Jan. 28th); we have older store items with a correct
‘narSize’, such as
.

Thoughts?

bug#46212: ci.guix.gnu.org narinfos with excessive NarSize

[Christopher Baines]

I noticed through the Guix Data Service that some narinfo files from
ci.guix.gnu.org have an excessive NarSize.

These are the three that I've found, but there could be more.


/gnu/store/qln574djfgl8h9glij9id8jips7nnrlw-flightgear-2018.3.5
NarSize: 18446744072099351584
