Lenght limit of chassis description #408
Description
Hi Vincent,
Is there a length limit of a chassis description?
The version 1.0.5 introduces the limit of a system description to 79 characters.
(To be precise the commit "9c49cedf lib: fix memory leak when handling I/O" which suppose to fix #362 is causing the problem)
After the problematic configuration change is triggered, other configuration changes are failing.
An example of triggering the error:
[lldpcli] # configure system description '12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890'
2020-07-14T01:02:53 [WARN/lldpctl] unable to set description. Other input/output operation already in progress
And no other actions from the same instance of a client are possible:
[lldpcli] # show neighbors
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LLDP neighbors:
2020-07-14T01:04:43 [WARN/lldpctl] not able to get the list of interfaces. Other input/output operation already in progress
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the restart of a lldpcli, the next command is executed successfully.
The same problem applies to other configuration items like platform description
[lldpcli] # configure system platform '12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890'
2020-07-14T01:08:43 [WARN/lldpctl] unable to get configuration from lldpd. Other input/output operation already in progress
