asciilifeform: sumbody's wedged...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: ty, looking at top before restarting the explosion in RAM usage suggests it may be the phenomenon bvt documented
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm going through his piece atm actually. dollars to doughnuts, it's underflow in unsigned int nSize = vSend.size() - nMessageStart; but atm can't prove it
asciilifeform: the proggy i'm aboutta genesis might prove useful in replicating this effect (it so happens to contain working routines for injecting arbitrary liquishit into a noad)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i take it .4 is yours btw ? wouldja like it labeled ? ( so can see yer name highlighted when probed )
asciilifeform has of course list of who in cage is who, but did promise not to advertise folx w/out their req
BingoBoingo: Maybe later
asciilifeform: aite
shinohai: mmmm doughnuts.
asciilifeform: shinohai: 4GB shitdoughnut, lol
asciilifeform: will be interesting if it turns out that that 4GB is actually entire memory space of process and gets sent out to issuer of 'magic cmd'

asciilifeform reground the vpatch to put proggy in named dir, as is trad.
bvt: asciilifeform: nah, nSize looks correct, and pend in
bvt: sorry, fatfingered. actually, nSize would look ok after such overflow, so it may just be masking the problem
asciilifeform: bvt: as i understand, for this effect, either a) vSend.size() b) nMessageStart c) vSend.begin() d) vSend.end() wildly outta bounds, or d) memory corruption boojum somewhere entirely else
asciilifeform: *e)
bvt: these 4Gb of memory look like a realloc result to me, caused by an underflow somewhere in serialization code
asciilifeform: bvt: if can find just where, i can write a liquishit sender so to reproduce.
asciilifeform: bvt: for completeness -- could also be locking bugola: there's a number of places where e.g. nMessageStart = -1
bvt: another datapoint is that it happens when a node requests a ton of blocks, apparently could be an under/overflow if vSend.size() becomes bigger than fits in uint32?
asciilifeform: that's what suggested 'race cond.' to me -- that it happens , apparently , strictly under max cpu load
asciilifeform: astonishingly gnarly shitcoad, incidentally. and nobody's touched the 'message' crapola since genesis .
bvt: hm; i could wrap operator<< of vSend to check how the size() changed - if by more than 4Gb (3Gb for some slack?), we have a culprit?
asciilifeform: bvt: of course can 'kludge' , but won't know whether nailed it until effect can be reproduced
asciilifeform: bvt: i dun suppose you have a core dump of wedged state ?
bvt: i have it in debugger in wedged state right now, so i'd like to get a maximum value out of it before killing.
asciilifeform: at the very least, make dump if you can
asciilifeform: bvt: can get values of the stack vars of EndMessage at the time Hash invoked ?
bvt: ok, have 5.4Gb core.pid
bvt: info locals?
asciilifeform: plz
asciilifeform: bvt: i'ma set up a place you can put this turd, gimme coupla min
bvt: nothing interesting http://bvt-trace.net/2020/02/a-tiny-and-incomplete-trb-wedgetrace/#comment-135 (I'll use comments because pastes tend to disappear)
asciilifeform: bvt: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=Me42
asciilifeform: bvt: lemme know plox if this worx.
bvt: should finish uploading the dump in ~15min
asciilifeform: ty bvt !
asciilifeform: dun fughet the orig bin too plz
asciilifeform: bvt: i'ma gzip & put it in pub in case others want to look
bvt: i'm not sure this is a good idea, given that i'm not sure what amount of information about the host may end up in the dump.
asciilifeform: bvt: your call
asciilifeform: bvt: whatever's in there, fwiw, already came outta yer box , i strongly suspect, when it went an' tried sending out that 4gb
asciilifeform: at the very least, oughta give mod6 a copy (not sure whether he knows how to gdb tho?)
bvt: should be it
asciilifeform: ty bvt
asciilifeform: imho would be valuable to put it up publicly. if you have nuffin seekrit on that box aside from pw's, i rec to change'em, then can put up ?
asciilifeform: bvt: ?
bvt: if BingoBoingo acks, i'll make it available via my blog, you can share the data as well
asciilifeform: ok i'ma mirror on my box then
asciilifeform: (plenty of bw to spare)
asciilifeform: will be up in half hr or so

asciilifeform: ... continued .
Vexual: interesting new tool release asciilifeform
asciilifeform: Vexual: by all rights farthest thing from 'interesting'. but potentially useful imho.
Vexual: potentially useful is inherently interesting
asciilifeform: Vexual: what i meant was, there's nuffin nontrivial in there. ( ate 1 afternoon. ) ircism lifted from ye olde logotron bot, plus bit of logic to ask 'version' packet from noades & report answr.
Vexual: I assumed you already had it; and irc bit was new
asciilifeform: Vexual: had irc bit (since august), the rest new
Vexual: Well then I was almost precisely wrong
asciilifeform: imho ideally it'd probe in background (say, erry 20min) and report strictly wedged and 'behind' nodez
asciilifeform: but would rather atm have the manually-cranked tester than nuffin
asciilifeform: orig. started w/ aim to make injector for replaying mod6's packet capture into a node. there, ended up stuck, but realized can quickly make general-purpose node poll proggy from the pieces, for the time being.
Vexual: does a testchain fit anywhere in hour head?
Vexual: it's possibly illegal by now
asciilifeform: Vexual: other than for playing w/ mining logic, wat good does 'test chain' do ?
Vexual: mining is how I got there; I've been pondering your 0 fee double spend question for days
asciilifeform: Vexual: you can make 'test chain' any time you like, just by setting up coupla nodes on a closed lan & plugging'em into ea. other
Vexual: yeah, I aslo kinda assumed it might be useful for repeating wedge conditions
asciilifeform: you'll have a hell of a time making the sort of block fillage & mempool volume seen in 'nature' tho
asciilifeform: so doubtful re wedge conditions
Vexual: copy nature
asciilifeform: ( this is even supposing 'wedge packet' is 'natural', i.e. accidental, rather than crafted, object )
Vexual: good luck testing on mainchain
Vexual: test yes, repeat no
asciilifeform: Vexual: re 'doublespends' -- pocket test network of trb won't tell you much re the current miners, who quite evidently use very diff. logic than seen in trb's (which has ~0 optimization for tx selection)
Vexual: I agree
asciilifeform: re wedge -- given that apparently 0 prb nodes suffered the wedge, i'm inclined to think that this is the answer. even tho atm cannot readily say how to replicate condition.
asciilifeform: tomorrow will take deeper look at bvt's dump, possibly derive the necessary input to replicate effect. (supposing no one does 1st while i sleep)

asciilifeform: there.
asciilifeform: oughta be ok to leave alone nao.
Vexual: :)
asciilifeform: Vexual: have you a node ? it is a little odd that yer interested in subj, but no noad ?
Vexual: nope, my strange node sits on a platter collecting dust
Vexual: prolly get hot'n'loud if I dusted it off
asciilifeform: my e.g. 'apu1', w/ 0 moving parts , makes an entirely workable noad.
asciilifeform: is approx the size of 2 vhs cassettes laid long sides together
asciilifeform: draws <10w
asciilifeform: that's what lives at .27
Vexual: with halvening and covid19, I might just need to spin something upi
asciilifeform: to paraphrase the old song, 'i roll 2 nodes in 2 times of peace, and 2 in times of war, i roll 2 nodes before i roll 2 nodes, and then i roll 2 moar'
