List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org Cc: kwolf@redhat.com, jcody@redhat.com, qemu-block@nongnu.org On some (but not all) systems: $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 overlay -b ssh://xen/ Segmentation fault It turns out this happens when inet_connect returns NULL in the following code, but errno is not set (0). s->sock = inet_connect(s->hostport, errp); if (s->sock < 0) { ret = -errno; goto err; } In the case above, 'xen' doesn't exist so getaddrinfo fails. On Fedora 22, getaddrinfo happens to set errno = ENOENT (although it is _not_ documented to do that), so it doesn't segfault. On RHEL 7, errno is not set by the failing getaddrinfo, so ret == 0, so the caller doesn't know there was an error and continues with a half-initialized BDRVSSHState struct, and everything goes south from there. Fix this by setting errno to EINVAL. The real error is saved in the Error** errp struct, so it is printed correctly: $ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 overlay -b ssh://xen/ qemu-img: overlay: address resolution failed for xen:22: No address associated with hostname BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1147343 Signed-off-by: Richard W.M.
