Description Jesper Schmitz Mouridsen freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-06-08 10:22:08 UTC
Hi
Using notifyd you get NOTIFY(EVENT): datagram too large 
when using notifyd 

It is bececase net.local.dgram.maxdgram is smaller than on linux default is 2048 so you get a bufsiz of 204-32=172 most events are bigger. so add_arg fails here:

if (*buflen + len > max_size) return -1;


(max_size is bufsiz)


a Workaround is to set sysctl net.local.dgram.maxdgram higher e.g to 655552

But perhaps a patch that does not divide with 10
work-basic/cyrus-imapd-3.4.1/imap/notify.c:223:    bufsiz = MIN(bufsiz / 10 - 32, NOTIFY_MAXSIZE);

work-basic/cyrus-imapd-3.4.1/notifyd/notifyd.c:123:    bufsiz = MIN(bufsiz / 10 - 32, NOTIFY_MAXSIZE); 

Is better?

Thank you for the report.
I think it is better to increase the size of socket buffer.
Is the attached patch work for you?

Thanks.

Yes the patch works for me, I do not know how large the events can become though.
Perhaps this should be discussed with upstream?

The settings triggering this bug (without the patch) btw is

event_notifier: external
notify_external: /usr/local/bin/dump.pl

cat /usr/local/bin/dump.pl 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl 
use strict;
use warnings;
open FH,">/tmp/t";

while (<STDIN>) {
print FH $_
} 

It might be a problem on older cyrus-imapd versions as well.

Thank you for testing.
I'm not sure how large the buffer is, too.
In any way, it doesn't work on other than Linux at least FreeBSD.
So, it should be reported to upstream.

Btw, you can put the notification to syslog by the following setting:

  event_notifier: log
