Bug ID: 11215
Summary: compression/zlib errors discard the zlib error message
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.0
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: core
Assignee: way...@samba.org
Reporter: tref...@measite.de
QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org
We recently experienced a rsync failure:
inflate returned -3 (0 bytes)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at token.c(557)
[receiver=3.1.0]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (59265966 bytes received so far)
[generator]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226)
[generator=3.1.0]
The first error (inflate returned -3 (0 bytes)) was tracked in token.c:
> case r_inflating:
> rx_strm.next_out = (Bytef *)dbuf;
> rx_strm.avail_out = AVAIL_OUT_SIZE(CHUNK_SIZE);
> r = inflate(&rx_strm, Z_NO_FLUSH);
> n = AVAIL_OUT_SIZE(CHUNK_SIZE) - rx_strm.avail_out;
> if (r != Z_OK) {
> rprintf(FERROR, "inflate returned %d (%d
> bytes)\n", r, n);
> exit_cleanup(RERR_STREAMIO);
> }
> if (rx_strm.avail_in == 0)
> recv_state = r_inflated;
> if (n != 0) {
> *data = dbuf;
> return n;
> }
> break;
The problem is that -3 refers to Z_DATA_ERROR. This error is returned whenever
the zlib state machine enters the "BAD" state (inflate.c), e.g.
> case HCRC:
> if (state->flags & 0x0200) {
> NEEDBITS(16);
> if (hold != (state->check & 0xffff)) {
> strm->msg = (char *)"header crc mismatch";
> state->mode = BAD;
> break;
> }
> INITBITS();
> }
Note that zlib does have an error message in addition to the error code.
It would be very nice if rsync could print the zlib error message alongside the
error code and result buffer size. I currently can't get enough information
from the provided error message to decide if it's an rsync/zlib problem (very
unlikely IMHO) or a hardware issue.
