At a friends computer, I could reproduce severe data loss. It seems that Seamonkey Mail cannot handle files with length >2GiB, at least on i686 (32 bit machine), and goes wild :-(
I could verify this using strace:
[pid 9402] stat64("/home/heike/.mozilla/heike/zqf8bswn.slt/Mail/pop/Inbox", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=596951668, ...}) = 0

At first, seamonkey gets stat data for that file "Mail/pop/Sent". You see, the file has size 2148532224, as "st_size=2148532224" tells.
[pid 9402] stat64("/home/heike/.mozilla/heike/zqf8bswn.slt/Mail/pop/Sent", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=2148532224, ...}) = 0
Then seamonkey opens the file for writing, using the O_TRUNC flag, which means that the file is to be truncated (its length set to zero)
[pid 9402] open("/home/heike/.mozilla/heike/zqf8bswn.slt/Mail/pop/Sent", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0666 <unfinished ...>
We can even verify this result, as now the file size is 0, as "st_size=0" tells.
[pid 9402] stat64("/home/heike/.mozilla/heike/zqf8bswn.slt/Mail/pop/Sent", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a very large mail file in the appropriate directory. In my specific case, this was "Mail/pop/Sent" file. This file should be greater than 2GiB. Using "dd if=/dev/zero of=Sent bs=1M count=2049" is fine.
2. Create the corresponding .msf file (e.g. "Mail/pop/Sent,msf"). This file should have zero length. Using "rm Sent.msf", "touch Sent.msf" is fine.
3. Start Seamonkey Mail
4. Look at the size of the Mail file.
Actual Results:
The size of "Sent" is 0
Expected Results:
The size of "Sent" should remain greater than 2GiB.
This problem has been verified both on Seamonkey 1.0.2 and Seamonkey 1.0.6.

I can confirm this for SeaMonkey 1.1b [Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061105 SeaMonkey/1.1b].
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

So what is this http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpcom/io/nsLocalFileUnix.cpp#1110 ?
The source code line
LL_UI2L(*aFileSize, (PRUint32)mCachedStat.st_size);
resolves to
(*aFileSize) = (PRInt64) (PRUint32) mCachedStat.st_size;
This may not be the reason for this bug, but this is still silly! First down-convert to 32 bits and then up-convert to 64 bits again.

JFTR: SeaMonkey 1.1b [Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061102 SeaMonkey/1.1b] is *NOT* affected, it already seems to be using 64 bit stuff.
I assume that Thunderbird is also affected?

I've been looking at this on the mac, which I think has the same bug. I believe the bug is in the xpcom/obsolete/filestream code, but I'm still debugging it. It's also a core bug, not specific to seamonkey.

Actually, it is a severe design bug. The method nsFileSpec::Exists() returns either "true" or "false", but it may not return the state "unknown" or "error happened during this operation". However, the underlying calls may return something different from both "yes, the file exists" and "no, the file does not exist", like ENOMEM, EACCES, EOVERFLOW. (In Java, we would throw and catch an Exception in these conditions.) Thus, the method nsFileSpec::Exists() erroneously replaces these "I do not know" conditions to "I know that the file does not exist". This, in turn leads seamonkey to try to create the file again, which actually results in overwriting (truncating) the file.
The correct way to fix this bug is to introduce at least another possible result (like "unknown") additionally to "yes, the file exists" and "no, the file does not exist". However, this is an API change, implying that all callers of this method have to be changed. As all callers need a review anyway (checking what they do if stat(3) returns an error condition and thus Exists() errorneously returns false), changing all callers is also the correct (but possibly painful) solution to this severe bug.

thx for the investigation and analysis - WHY is there an error checking if the file exists? The stack trace is on folder discovery, presumably after a restart - my guess is something happened before you restarted that caused an error...
Reporter | ||
Comment 8•18 years ago

We know for sure that if EOVERFLOW happened, the file existed, just the stat data could not be filled nicely without an overflow. Thus, returning "Yes, the file exists" if stat(3) returns -1, but errno is EOVERFLOW, is the desired behaviour.
However, if errno is one of
EACCES
EIO
ELOOP
ENAMETOOLONG
ENOTDIR
EOVERFLOW
EFAULT
ENOMEM
the result is not "unknown" but remains to be "No, the file does not exist", which is clearly wrong in most cases (though, in some cases like EACCESS, it might not matter much). In cases like EIO, a partly unreadable file might (due to this bug) get fully deleted (truncated) unintentionally, depending on the filesystem.
Only if errno==ENOENT, the method should return "No, the file does not exist".

Hello David,
if the file exists, you cannot asume that stat() will return 0. Even if the file exists, stat() might return -1 and set errno to something like EACCES, EIO, ENAMETOOLONG, EOVERFLOW, EFAULT, ENOMEM. Conversely, this is not bijective in every case. So if you get ENOMEM, EIO or EACCES, you do not know wether the file existed or not.
Why seamonkey runs into folder discovery, I do not know. Presumably because the corresponding ".msf" file is empty. But this may happen, e.g. if seamonkey or the machine crashes during the generation of the ".msf" file. Whatever leads to this situation, no mozilla application shall ever overwrite or delete any user's file without the user's intention and confirmation.

This is a specific workaround to the specific problem which triggered the bug. However, some (rarer) cases are still unhandled
access(mPath, F_OK); might be an alternative that doesn't have the EOVERFLOW problem for large files (or stat64, of course).
I also want to note that this API (nsFileSpec) is deprecated and that the non-deprecated version (nsIFile/nsILocalFile) does have a way to report errors.

No, we don't care about that - we'll just regenerate it.
So stat() is overflowing because it can't fit the file size in a signed 32 bit int - stat64 sounds like a good choice, and being more discriminating with the stat error codes...

David,
I'm sorry. I did not intend to revert your changes and, at submission time, it was not apparent to me that I actually triggered this revert. This just happened because we together did a kind of parallel submission (we both started from the state of comment #12 and then submitted intependently) and bugzilla did not complain about the risk of overwriting new state by old state due to parallel submission. This is another bugzilla bug.

I tested this on non-special (i.e. user defined) mail folders of >2GiB size, and it worked fine there.

I'm not sure - I haven't been able to reproduce the problem since, with the access() version of the patch (I never got around to trying your patch, since I prefer the access() version...) - so I think your idea is a big improvement, and I'll try to get it landed.
We still shouldn't be limited to 2GB - up to 4GB works on Windows, so I'm going to look at that next...

the 2GB problem has to do with unix's that don't support 64 bit seeks, or indeed, any seeks > 2GBs. xpcom/obsolete/nsIFileStream.cpp has this problem, but so does netwerk/base/src/nsFileStreams.cpp.
This can be detected with an #ifdef _PR_NO_LARGE_FILES, so I could change the 4GB warning to a 2GB warning on those platforms. But I can't believe Mac and various linuxes don't have some way around this problem that NSPR could use

Maybe you can do relative seeks (using SEEK_CUR) in multiple steps, each of these steps in the range of -2GiB..+2GiB ?
Or if we do absolute position, we first seek to the start (using SEEK_END) and then repeatedly advance (using SEEK_CUR)?

NSPR also uses access(..., F_OK) to implement
PR_Access(..., PR_Access PR_ACCESS_EXISTS), which checks
the existence of a file.
I don't understand the comments about seeking. There is
no seeking in this patch.

wtc - the reference to seeking has to do with a related issue, having to do with mailboxes > 2GB. Basically, on _PR_NO_LARGE_FILES platforms, we can't support mailboxes larger than 2GB because we can't do the needed seeking. It's surprising to me that some unix platforms, including OS/X 10.4, we don't support seeks of > 2GB. As Xuân points out, we could perhaps fake this by breaking up the seeks into offsets < 2GB. We could either do this in various parts of the client code (I know of at least two pieces of client code that would need to change so far) or do it in NSPR. I'm guessing that doing it in NSPR is unlikely, but I thought I'd at least mention it.

We should fix NSPR so that it supports large files on all
major platforms. For Mac OS X, this may just require defining
_PR_HAVE_LARGE_OFF_T instead of _PR_NO_LARGE_FILES in
mozilla/nsprpub/pr/include/md/_darwin.h. (off_t is 8 bytes
on Mac OS X.) Then you can use PR_GetFileInfo64, PR_GetOpenFileInfo64,
and PR_Seek64.

Please still look into changing the client code just in case I don't
have time to work on NSPR before TB 2.0 is released.
Here are the supported Unix platforms on which _PR_NO_LARGE_FILES is defined:
FreeBSD
Mac OS X
NetBSD
OpenBSD
OpenVMS
QNX / NTO (Neutrino)
RISC OS
Which of these matter to you?
I don't know the status of OS/2 and BeOS because the NSPR code for these
two platforms doesn't use the _PR_NO_LARGE_FILES macro. Does anyone know
if NSPR supports large files on OS/2 and BeOS?

Mac OS/X matters the most - I don't really know about the rest - I'd say the BSD's are probably next in importance, but that's just a guess.

Are we still talking about this reported bug? Because this bug happened under Linux, which has been supporting stat64() and other 64-bit file operations for years. So, as _PR_NO_LARGE_FILES is not defined for Linux, why could this bug then happen? Or is _PR_NO_LARGE_FILES also defined for Linux?

for QA/testing, this change affects most of the code that checks to see if a file exists in mail/news. But, if it didn't work, mail pretty much wouldn't work. To recreate the bug, you need to create a very large folder, > 2GB, and see if it survives restart on a platform like OS/X.
