Subject: why would i get "Out of memory" error in a sandbox build?
Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2014 15:50:36 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1407021543560.7005@localhost> (raw)


  playing around with an absolutely generic sandbox build and i ran
into the following issue. i built sandbox on my fedora rawhide system
with no customization whatsoever, and executed it with no root
privilege, so i definitely expected some things not to work. i got the
following:

$ ./barebox


barebox 2014.06.0-00365-g96c53b1 #1 Wed Jul 2 15:03:37 EDT 2014


Board: barebox sandbox
could not open /dev/net/tun: Permission denied
tap tap0: probe failed: Operation not permitted
malloc space: 0x7f249f5e9010 -> 0x7f249fde900f (size 8 MiB)
environment load /dev/env0: No such file or directory
Maybe you have to create the partition.
no valid environment found on /dev/env0. Using default environment
running /env/bin/init...
\nHit any key to stop autoboot:  0

ifup: Cannot find device eth0
ifup: No such file or directory
running automount command 'ifup eth0 && mount -t tftp $eth0.serverip

Booting net failed: No such file or directory

  i'm actually good with this, it's about what i expected since i set
no environment or networking, etc.  but just for fun, i "cd"ed down
into /mnt/tftp, knowing this shouldn't work, and here's what happened:

barebox@barebox sandbox:/ cd /mnt/tftp
ifup: Cannot find device eth0
ifup: No such file or directory
running automount command 'ifup eth0 && mount -t tftp $eth0.serverip
/mnt/tftp' failed
barebox@barebox sandbox:/mnt/tftp cd /
ERROR: out of memory

no stack data available
[rpjday@localhost barebox_build]$

  in short, "cd"ing into /mnt/tftp failed as it should have, but just
trying to "cd" back to the root caused the "out of memory" error. it
seems entirely reproducible. should i have expected this?
