[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] linux-user: Don't use alloca() for epoll_wait's


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] linux-user: Don't use alloca() for epoll_wait's epoll event array
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2016 15:36:00 +0100

The epoll event array which epoll_wait() allocates has a size
determined by the guest which could potentially be quite large.
Use g_try_new() rather than alloca() so that we can fail more
cleanly if the guest hands us an oversize value. (ENOMEM is
not a documented return value for epoll_wait() but in practice
some kernel configurations can return it -- see for instance
sys_oabi_epoll_wait() on ARM.)

This rearrangement includes fixing a bug where we were
incorrectly passing a negative length to unlock_user() in
the error-exit codepath.
