[Bug 1914117] Re: Short files returned via FTP on Qemu with various architectures and OSes
Writeup as promised.
Symptom:
Qemu on Mac OS X - both Catalina and Big Sur.
The issue occurs in both 5.2 and 4.2* branches of Qemu.
Applications such as ftp that read large amounts of data from the network
may ignore valid data due to the Urgent flag being set on packets in the
stream.
- Install a Unix VM (e.g. NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc) on Qemu using Mac OS X.
- Try to FTP a large file, such as
ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.16.11/bind-9.16.11.tar.xz
and you will be one byte short (not just this file, it's just an ex).
Synopsis:
-
- On inspection, the urgent flag is being set on the last packet of data
- As a result data is missing and is not received by the client app
because it is considered out of band.
- poll() on Mac OS X has different behaviour to other Unices.
- towards the end of a stream, PRI and HUP are sent (whereas on FreeBSD
and others it is not)
- as a result of PRI, the slirp library used in Qemu for the user
network interface adds an urgent bit to the relevant packets
To see the different behaviour, we setup a server to serve a large file
and wrote a client to receive it, using poll() and dumping information about
the flags.
Here is FreeBSD - the IN flag is set throughout.
ec2-user@freebsd:~/polltest $ ./a.out -w -P lXXX.net
Resolving lXXX.net: trying XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX... OK
FD 3 ready: POLLIN
Read 1024 byte(s)
FD 3 ready: POLLIN
Read 1024 total byte(s)
[snipped]
FD 3 ready: POLLIN
Read 102400 total byte(s)
ec2-user@freebsd:~/polltest $
Here is Mac OS X (Big Sur). You can see at the end of the stream,
both PRI & HUP are set.
Resolving lXXX.net: trying XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX .. OK
FD 5 ready: POLLIN
Read 1024 byte(s)
[Snipped]
FD 5 ready: POLLIN
Read 416 byte(s)

Hangup on FD 5
Read 160 byte(s)
FD 5 ready: POLLIN POLLPRI POLLHUP
Hangup on FD 5
Read 102400 total byte(s)
Towards a fix:
--
The following patch removes the symptom simply by ignoring these flags.
This is not necessarily the final answer, but we have run with this patch
for a couple of days and haven't seen any negative behaviour.

This is NOT a fix but we can get working FTPs again with this patch -
narrowing into where the problem is. Looks like the behaviour of this

I've spent some more time on this. I've tcpdump'ed the connection whilst doing the download (via both HTTP & FTP). In the last data packet, the last byte that is missing on the filesystem is in the packet, but the packet has the urgent bit set with the urgent pointer the same as the length of the packet.

[Bug 1914117] Re: Short files returned via FTP on Qemu with various architectures and OSes
First boot in previous comment was with: qemu-system-i386 -m 256M -hda openbsd-disk-i386.img -net user -net nic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914117 Title: Short files returned via FTP on Qemu with various architectures and OSes Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Qemu 5.2 on Mac OS X Big Sur.

[Bug 1914117] Re: Short files returned via FTP on Qemu with various architectures and OSes
Apologies. Host OS is Big Sur Mac OS X latest - with Xcode latest. Qemu is 5.2 - tar ball directly from the website. - Compile Qemu on Mac OS/Big Sur - completely stock build : install Ninja, mkdir build && cd build && ../configure && make && make install - But also the issue is with the binary in home-brew (e.g. brew install Qemu) - both methods get me to the same problem. * Installed NetBSD/amd64 or i386 or OpenBSD/i386. Qemu-image create -f raw image 10G qmu-system-ARCH -m 256M -hda image -cdrom “netbsd.iso” -boot d -net user -net nic (For i386 & amd64 I tend to add -nographic for the installer) * Run the image: Qmu-system-ARCH -m 256M -hda $IMAGE -net user -net nic Also NetBSD/arm64 has the issue using their image. qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -cpu cortex-a53 -smp 4 -m 4g \ -drive if=none,file=netbsd-disk-arm64.img,id=hd0 -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \ -netdev type=user,id=net0 -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0,mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 \ -bios QEMU_EFI.fd -nographic * The issue seems to be downloading large files. In the host OS two files that seem to tickle the bug often are: * ftp -a http://cpan.pair.com/src/5.0/perl-5.32.1.tar.xz On NetBSD this file seems to be one byte shorter than it should be. On arm64 is was several bytes shorter. * ftp -a ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.16.11/bind-9.16.11.tar.xz Also seems to tickle the bug I saw this while trying to use pkgsrc on NetBSD. Saw this on Amd64, i386 and arm64. Tried OpenBSD to rule out NetBSD as the problem. OpenBSD/i386 sees the same issue (ftp returns short read and file is a couple of bytes smaller). The screenshot is from amd64 - a fresh boot this morning running on a fairly idle host.

Please provide more information: How did you compile QEMU? Which version did you exactly use? And most important: How do you *run* QEMU? System emulation? User mode? What kind of FTP are you doing?? ** Changed in: qemu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914117 Title: Short files returned via FTP on Qemu with various architectures and OSes Status in QEMU: Incomplete Bug description: Qemu 5.2 on Mac OS X Big Sur.
