| Summary | 0005513: gnunet-peerinfo -i floods gnunet-service-transport with client connections | ||||
| Description | gnunet-peerinfo will open a client connection to gnunet-service-transport for every address in every peer known without any rate limiting. This can eat up all available file descriptors of gnunet-service-transport, which currently doesn't deal with it very well (0005511). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Run `gnunet-peerinfo -in` over and over again until gnunet-service-transport locks up. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| I'm not sure we care, for three reasons: 1) select() loop should eventually be replaced with epoll(), eliminating the FD limit; 2) peerinfo is being replaced with peerstore in TNG 3) TNG plugins won't require connections to transport anymore to print addresses In other words, the redesign will make the _entire_ problematic described here go away. Sure, this will still apply as a problem to 0.11.0 (as TNG won't be ready by then). So for 0.11.0, the fix I'd most like to see is #1: add epoll() support and lift FD limit ;-). | |
| 0005511 was fixed, hence setting this particular one to wontfix, as there is really no point in fixing it as with TNG the entire architecture will change. | |
