From 325e3904210c779a13fbbc9ee156056d045d7eee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Richard W.M. Jones" Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2015 14:27:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block/ssh: Avoid segfault if inet_connect doesn't set errno. On some (but not all) systems: $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 overlay -b ssh://xen/ Segmentation fault It turns out this happens when inet_connect returns -1 in the following code, but errno == 0. s->sock = inet_connect(s->hostport, errp); if (s->sock < 0) { ret = -errno; goto err; } In the test case above, no host called "xen" exists, so getaddrinfo fails. On Fedora 22, getaddrinfo happens to set errno = ENOENT (although it is *not* documented to do that), so it doesn't segfault. On RHEL 7, errno is not set by the failing getaddrinfo, so ret = -errno = 0, so the caller doesn't know there was an error and continues with a half-initialized BDRVSSHState struct, and everything goes south from there, eventually resulting in a segfault. Fix this by setting ret to -EIO (same as block/nbd.c and block/sheepdog.c). The real error is saved in the Error** errp struct, so it is printed correctly: $ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 overlay -b ssh://xen/ qemu-img: overlay: address resolution failed for xen:22: No address associated with hostname Signed-off-by: Richard W.M.
