communicate: check return status of msgrcv()
msgrcv can return with -1 to indicate an error condition.
One such error is to have been interrupted by a signal.
Being interrupted by a signal is very rare in this code, except in a
very special condition: a highly parallel job, like a makefile with
hundreds jobs, which all compete to read extended attributes from
different files.
For example, see: https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10141, where
a highly-parallel (1000 threads!) mksquashfs on a filesystem with
extended attributes, where we see errors like (those are mksquashfs
errors):
llistxattr for titi/603/883 failed in read_attrs, because Unknown
error 1716527536
However, when a signal is delivered, the content of the message (aka
buf) is not changed, so the various fields will contain whatever they
contained before the call. One field is especially critical,
buf->xattr.flags_rc that can contain either the flags when passed
One way to solve this would be to simply return the error condition to
the caller. However, not all the calls we wrap may return EINTR, so some
callers would be very disapointed if we were to return them EINTR.
Instead, it is guaranteed that no message is delivered in case msgrcv()
is interrupted by a signal, so we simply attempt to receive again.
As for other error conditions, there is not much we can do either: none
are restartable. If any would occur, it would mean we had incorrect
setup on our side, and nothing would work to begin with.
Note: the other error conditions in msgrcv() are:
- E2BIG. the message is too big: nothing would work at all anyway, as
we would not be able to exchange any message with faked;
- EACCES: we would not own the IPC we created ourselves;
- EFAULT: the pointer we allocated ourselves would not be in our
own address range;
- EIDRM: someone killed faked, or called ipcrm... We're doomed, but
we can't exit(), because we still want to allow the caller
to recover and take action, like saving its state to storage
(although that may backfire with more calls to wrapped
functions);
- EINVAL: incorrect message ID, which would mean the msg_get variable
got overwritten by something, like a memory leak, which
could very well come from somewhere else in the process
(i.e. not in our code);
- ENOMSG: can't occur, since we never specify IPC_NOWAIT; and if it
did occur, we could not do much either;
- ENOSYS: can't occur, we don't use MSG_COPY; ditto, we could not do
much if it occured anyway.
So, basically any other error condition would mean the internal state
would be completely fsked-up, so we should just return that error
condition to the caller, in the hope that it can cope. Yet, we can't
always do that, because we don't have a way to convey that error to the
internal caller: we don't know if it is interested in the stat field or
the xatttr one, so even though we could well put the errno in the xattr
field, it might still get missed by the other callers.
Yet, that's what we do, since we can't do much more, and we also print
a warning message, and hope for the best, or at least not the worst...
