From b37b452cb8c1f56b37b04abe7bffdede371ca361 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 23:59:54 +1030 Subject: [PATCH] tdb: fix recovery reuse after crash If a process (or the machine) dies after just after writing the recovery head (pointing at the end of file), the recovery record will filled with 0x42. This will not invoke a recovery on open, since rec.magic != TDB_RECOVERY_MAGIC. Unfortunately, the first transaction commit will happily reuse that area: tdb_recovery_allocate() doesn't check the magic. The recovery record has length 0x42424242, and it writes that back into the now-valid-looking transaction header) for the next comer (which happens to be tdb_wipe_all in my tests).
