From 3ce142861d88c357864d3a3bef7ec453826d737d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: HATAYAMA Daisuke Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2015 11:31:10 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] lsinitrd: Suppress "cat: write error: Broken pipe" On systemd, SIGPIPE is ignored by default; see man 5 systemd.exec for IgnoreSIGPIPE=. As a result, lsinitrd.sh under a systemd service outputs "cat: write error: Broken pipe" in the processing of determining a compression format of a given initramfs file using cat command in the write part of a pipeline processing. For example, this is a log message of kdump.service in RHEL7.1, -- Logs begin at Wed 2015-11-04 09:57:33 JST, end at Wed 2015-11-04 09:58:28 JST. -- Nov 04 09:57:33 localhost systemd[1]: Stopping Crash recovery kernel arming...

Although there's no actual harm except for the error message, there has been several inquiries from customers about this message so far. We should suppress this message to reduce needless communications. To suppress the message, this commit cleans up the processing of reading the first 6 bytes of a given initramfs file without cat command. --- lsinitrd.sh | 59 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------- 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/lsinitrd.sh b/lsinitrd.sh index d2ddd76..441fb92 100755 --- a/lsinitrd.sh +++ b/lsinitrd.sh @@ -176,38 +176,35 @@ case $bin in ;; esac -CAT=$({ - if [[ $SKIP ]]; then - $SKIP "$image" +if [[ $SKIP ]] ; then + bin="$($SKIP "$image" | { read -N 6 bin && echo "$bin" ; })" +else + read -N 6 bin < "$image" +fi +case $bin in + $'\x1f\x8b'*) + CAT="zcat --" + ;; + BZh*) + CAT="bzcat --" + ;; + $'\x71\xc7'*|070701) + CAT="cat --" + ;; + $'\x02\x21'*) + CAT="lz4 -d -c" + ;; + $'\x89'LZO$'\0'*) + CAT="lzop -d -c" + ;; + *) + if echo "test"|xz|xzcat --single-stream >/dev/null 2>&1; then + CAT="xzcat --single-stream --" else - cat "$image" - fi } | { - read -N 6 bin - case $bin in - $'\x1f\x8b'*) - echo "zcat --" - ;; - BZh*) - echo "bzcat --" - ;; - $'\x71\xc7'*|070701) - echo "cat --" - ;; - $'\x02\x21'*) - echo "lz4 -d -c" - ;; - $'\x89'LZO$'\0'*) - echo "lzop -d -c" - ;; - *) - if echo "test"|xz|xzcat --single-stream >/dev/null 2>&1; then - echo "xzcat --single-stream --" - else - echo "xzcat --" - fi - ;; - esac - }) + CAT="xzcat --" + fi + ;; +esac skipcpio() {
