chg: handle EOF reading data block We recently discovered a case in production that chg uses 100% CPU and is trying to read data forever: recvfrom(4, "", 1814012019, 0, NULL, NULL) = 0 Using gdb, apparently readchannel() got wrong data. It was reading in an infinite loop because rsize == 0 does not exit the loop, while the server process had ended. (gdb) bt #0 ... in recv () at /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 ... in readchannel (...) at /usr/include/bits/socket2.h:45 #2 ... in readchannel (hgc=...) at hgclient.c:129 #3 ... in handleresponse (hgc=...) at hgclient.c:255 #4 ... in hgc_runcommand (hgc=..., args=<optimized>, argsize=<optimized>) #5 ... in main (argc=...486922636, argv=..., envp=...) at chg.c:661 (gdb) frame 2 (gdb) p *hgc $1 = {sockfd = 4, pid = 381152, ctx = {ch = 108 'l', data = 0x7fb05164f010 "st):\nTraceback (most recent call last):\n" "Traceback (most recent call last):\ne", maxdatasize = 1814065152," " datasize = 1814064225}, capflags = 16131} This patch addresses the infinite loop issue by detecting continuously empty responses and abort in that case. Note that datasize can be translated to ['l', ' ', 'l', 'a']. Concatenate datasize and data, it forms part of "Traceback (most recent call last):". This may indicate a server-side channeledoutput issue. If it is a race condition, we may want to use flock to protect the channels.
