Hi,
Trying to investigate the FTBFS at [1], I'm finding another bug first
:-(. The vmstat test suite tries to run "vmstat -p /dev/sda1", and
vmstat crashes:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
getdiskstat (disks=disks@entry=0x7ffffff500,
partitions=partitions@entry=0x7ffffff508) at sysinfo.c:942
942 (*disks)[cDisk-1].partitions++;
(gdb) bt
#0 getdiskstat (disks=disks@entry=0x7ffffff500,
partitions=partitions@entry=0x7ffffff508)
at sysinfo.c:942
#1 0x000000000040240c in diskpartition_format (partition_name=0x7ffffff908
"sda1") at vmstat.c:405
#2 main (argc=3, argv=<optimized out>) at vmstat.c:860
(gdb) p *disks
$5 = (struct disk_stat *) 0x0
I've stepped through this in gdb and the code is buggy. AFAICS it's
expecting different input from /proc/diskstats and is crashing with
unexpected ordering there. On the build system, /proc/diskstats looks
like:
# cat /proc/diskstats

In the loop in getdiskstat(), I'm seeing that *disks is being
dereferenced in the partition-handling code before it has been
xrealloc'ed in the disk-handling code. As to *why* this code is being
triggered this way, I don't know, but it's clearly buggy behaviour to
crash here!
