From: Paul Meyer Paul.Meyer@microsoft.com Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2017 13:06:47 -0700 Subject: hv: kvp: Avoid reading past allocated blocks from KVP file
From: Paul Meyer Paul.Meyer@microsoft.com
commit 297d6b6e56c2977fc504c61bbeeaa21296923f89 upstream.
While reading in more than one block (50) of KVP records, the allocation goes per block, but the reads used the total number of allocated records (without resetting the pointer/stream). This causes the records buffer to overrun when the refresh reads more than one block over the previous capacity (e.g. reading more than 100 KVP records whereas the in-memory database was empty before).
Fix this by reading the correct number of KVP records from file each time.
