Summary

Accomplish this by allocating space for it in __svc_xports and allowing
it to be registered. The failure to allocate space was causing an out of
bounds read in svc_getreq_common(). The failure to register caused PR 211804.

The bug was found with CHERI bounds checking.

PR: 211804

Event Timeline

FWIW, NetBSD switched to using -1 instead of FD_SETSIZE to allow larger sets. We should probably pick up their assorted RPC fixes at some point.

This really should be 0, not '\0'.

  • Also deregister fake sockets for raw RPC.
