[Bug 1916344] Re: User mode networking not working properly on QEMU on Mac OS X host

[Ven Karri]

** Description changed:

  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Install QEMU using homebrew on Mac OS X (I used Big Sur)
  2. Spin up a guest VM (say) Cent OS8 using user mode networking.
  3. Install podman inside the guest
  4. Run podman pull alpine
  
  The result is:
  
  [root@localhost ~]# podman pull alpine
  Resolved "alpine" as an alias 
(/etc/containers/registries.conf.d/shortnames.conf)
  Trying to pull docker.io/library/alpine:latest...
  Getting image source signatures
  Copying blob ba3557a56b15 [======================================] 2.7MiB / 
2.7MiB
-   unexpected EOF
+   unexpected EOF
  Error: Error writing blob: error storing blob to file 
"/var/tmp/storage851171596/1": error happened during read: unexpected EOF
  
  This is happening because QEMU is telling the guest that the TCP
  connection is closed even before reading all the data from the host
  socket and forwarding it to the guest.
  
  This issue doesn't happen on a Linux host. So, that tells me that this
  has something to do with QEMU installation on Mac OS X.
  
  This could be a slirp related issue. So, QEMU/slirp may need to work
- together on fixing this.
