After I upgraded my virtual Raspbian to buster release `readdir` stopped working (as described in this thread) due to mapping of 64 inode numbers to qemu 32bit ARM land. I needed this builder working and I found a workaround in some obscure (2nd page of google result) blog. Before the work around my virtual Raspbian was just a directory on one of my ext4 partitions. To fix the issue I created image file with dd, formatted with mkfs.ext4 it with `dir_index` option disabled and moved my virual Raspbian onto that newly created filesystem. This fixed the issue for me and my builder started again. I am posting it here so `dir_index` trick can be easier to found for others in this situation. -- = You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805913 Title: readdir() returns NULL (errno=3DEOVERFLOW) for 32-bit user-static qemu on 64-bit host Status in QEMU: New Bug description: This can be simply reproduced by compiling and running the attached C code (readdir-bug.c) under 32-bit user-static qemu, such as qemu-arm- static: # Setup docker for user-static binfmt docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset # Compile the code and run (readdir for / is fine, so create a new direct= ory /test). docker run -v /path/to/qemu-arm-static:/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static -v /path/= to/readdir-bug.c:/tmp/readdir-bug.c -it --rm arm32v7/ubuntu:18.10 bash -c '= { apt update && apt install -y gcc; } >&/dev/null && mkdir -p /test && cd /= test && gcc /tmp/readdir-bug.c && ./a.out' dir=3D0xff5b4150 readdir(dir)=3D(nil) errno=3D75: Value too large for defined data type Do remember to replace the /path/to/qemu-arm-static and /path/to /readdir-bug.c to the actual paths of the files. The root cause is in glibc: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=3Dglibc.git;a=3Dblob;f=3Dsysdeps/unix/sysv/= linux/getdents.c;h=3D6d09a5be7057e2792be9150d3a2c7b293cf6fc34;hb=3Da5275ba5= 378c9256d18e582572b4315e8edfcbfb#l87 By C standard, the return type of readdir() is DIR*, in which the inode number and offset are 32-bit integers, therefore, glibc calls getdents64() and check if the inode number and offset fits the 32-bit range, and reports EOVERFLOW if not. The problem here is for 32-bit user-static qemu running on 64-bit host, getdents64 simply passing through the inode number and offset from underlying getdents64 syscall (from 64-bit kernel), which is very likely to not fit into 32-bit range. On real hardware, the 32-bit kernel creates 32-bit inode numbers, therefore works properly. The glibc code makes sense to do the check to be conformant with C standard, therefore ideally it should be a fix on qemu side. I admit this is difficult because qemu has to maintain a mapping between underlying 64-bit inode numbers and 32-bit inode numbers, which would severely hurt the performance. I don't expect this could be fix anytime soon (or even there would be a fix), but it would be worthwhile to surface this issue.
