[PATCH] tools/xenstored: Fix off-by-one in dump_state_nodes()

[Julien Grall <julien@xen.org>]

From: Julien Grall <jgrall@amazon.com>

The maximum path length supported by Xenstored protocol is
XENSTORE_ABS_PATH_MAX (i.e 3072). This doesn't take into account the
NUL at the end of the path.

However, the code to dump the nodes will allocate a buffer
of XENSTORE_ABS_PATH. As a result it may not be possible to live-update
if there is a node name of XENSTORE_ABS_PATH.

Fix it by allocating a buffer of XENSTORE_ABS_PATH_MAX + 1 characters.

Take the opportunity to pass the max length of the buffer as a
parameter of dump_state_node_tree(). This will be clearer that the
check in the function is linked to the allocation in dump_state_nodes().

This was spotted when backporting Live-Update to 4.11 because the
commit 924bf8c793 "tools/xenstore: rework path length check" is
not present. On the latest upstream, this is looks more a latent bug
because I didn't manage to create such large node.

(4.11)

42sh# xenstore-write $(python -c "print('/' + 'A' * 3071)") ""
42sh# xenstore-control live-update /usr/local/sbin/xenstored

Dump node path length error
