Revert "prevent crash when executing guest-file-read with large count"
As noted by Daniel Berrangé in [*], the fix from commit 807e2b6fce which replaced malloc() by try_malloc() is not enough, the process can still run out of memory a few line later: 346 buf = g_try_malloc0(count + 1); 347 if (!buf) { 348 error_setg(errp, 349 "failed to allocate sufficient memory " 350 "to complete the requested service"); 351 return NULL; 352 } 353 is_ok = ReadFile(fh, buf, count, &read_count, NULL); 354 if (!is_ok) { 355 error_setg_win32(errp, GetLastError(), "failed to read file"); 356 slog("guest-file-read failed, handle %" PRId64, handle); 357 } else { 358 buf[read_count] = 0; 359 read_data = g_new0(GuestFileRead, 1); ^^^^^^ Instead we are going to put a low hard limit on 'count' in the next commits. This reverts commit 807e2b6fce022707418bc8f61c069d91c613b3d2. [*] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-06/msg03471.html Suggested-by: Daniel P.
