nbdkit crashes when the client is trying to get extents with len=2^32-1.
Here is client code (nbdsh):
h.add_meta_context("base:allocation")
h.connect_uri("nbd://localhost:10809/disk0-flat.vmdk")
def f(metacontext, offset, e, status):
print(e)
h.block_status(2**32-2, 0, f)
[4294967295, 0] <--- OK
h.block_status(2**32-1, 0, f) <-- FAIL
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/nbd.py", line 2775, in
block_status
return libnbdmod.block_status(self._o, count, offset, extent, flags)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
nbd.Error: nbd_block_status: block-status: command failed: Transport
endpoint is not connected (ENOTCONN)
Server prints:
nbdkit: file.8: debug: file: extents count=4294967295 offset=0 req_one=0
nbdkit: ../../server/protocol.c:505: extents_to_block_descriptors:
Assertion `e.length <= length' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Why 2^32-2 is max len, and why nbdkit crashes with 2**32-1? It seems like a
bad-behaviour client can crash the server. Or did I miss something?
