Subject: [PATCH 1/7] wrapper: guard writev_in_full() against signed overflow
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 17:52:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ef08bbae2dec527fe2097c09f9f3187e0f38680d.1789667556.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2231.git.1789667556.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
As Git for Windows' Coverity run after merging v2.56.0-rc0 reported,
`writev_in_full()` keeps its cumulative successful output in an
`ssize_t`. Although `xwritev()` limits each individual write to a
syscall-sized amount, repeated successful writes can still exceed
`SSIZE_MAX`. The unchecked accumulation was introduced by d70eb7f3600d
(wrapper: introduce writev(3p) wrappers, 2026-08-07).
Treat an aggregate that would overflow the signed total as an I/O
failure.
