Description Dmitry Chagin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-05-13 16:52:25 UTC
pfs_read() code:

        buflen = uio->uio_offset + uio->uio_resid;
        if (buflen > MAXPHYS)
                buflen = MAXPHYS;

        sb = sbuf_new(sb, NULL, buflen + 1, 0);
        if (sb == NULL) {
                error = EIO;
                goto ret;
        }

strange code, I need to redo it to autoextend

grab it, not to forget
Comment 2 Conrad Meyer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-05-13 17:29:52 UTC
It doesn't seem like pfs_read's locking needs a fixed sized buffer, but perhaps something internal to pn_fill() writes to the sbuf under non-sleepable lock.

The uiomove() below in pfs_read() checks for len <= IOSIZE_MAX rather than MAXPHYS, but that could be invoked on smaller chunks in a loop?

hi, I created this PR not to forget about the problem and I have not investigated it yet, but seems that you are right.
the best solution apparently use some constant which will be > MAXPHYS, may be IOMAX_SIZE or multiple MAXPHYS

Log:
  Bump pseudofs size limit from 128kB to 1MB.  The old limit could result
  in process' memory maps being truncated.
