Chromium: `We have exhausted all available IDs in the disk pool`
When building a large application, I got the following error:
7b012e813b8c62de4e17eb1e.trap (maglev-graph-builder.cc.adcdb985_0.trap.tar.zst), 22: com.semmle.util.exception.CatastrophicError: We have exhausted all available IDs in the disk pool /databases/v1/demo/db-cpp/default/idPool
Unsure of what it means, any ideas?
Hi @Manouchehri ,
This means you've hit some internal limit of our database finalization process, due to the size of your application. Which version of CodeQL are you using? We have recently made some improvements in this area, so it would be good to know if you're benefitting from these, or not.
If your application is in fact a large monorepo, the general guidance would be to create a database per application, and not one that includes everything. I cannot tell from your question whether this is the case or not.

It's a single application, Chromium.

Thanks. Note that we do not recommend using nightly builds, but that will of course have all the relevant fixes for you.

Can I assume this was just a standard build of a recently checked out copy of Chromium?

Correct. No patches or anything made to it.
Thanks. I'll need to discuss this further internally.
My hypothesis is that although we tried to limit the use of the ID pool, the fixes that we've applied for the issues filed by @flowerhack, which I know you've seen, have caused substantially more code to be extracted, pushing us over the ID pool limit.
My expectation is that this is likely going to take some time to fix.
Is there another limiting factor, like reaching the max size of a unit32?
The reason I'm asking, is if it's a just a constant, I might be able to just monkey patch the CodeQL binary myself in the meantime.
The limiting factor here is indeed some 32-bit integer. However, 32-bit integers are pretty fundamental to both the finalization code and the query evaluator, so patching the binary is likely going to be extremely difficult.
Would you be able to share the maglev-graph-builder.cc.adcdb985_0.trap.tar.zst file mentioned in the error message. The file should contain a number of text files (that have a .trap extension). The only sensitive information that is potentially in there are the path names of files that were parsed by the tool.
What folder should that be in? I oddly don't seem to have any *.tar.zst files.
It should be in a subdirectory of /databases/v1/demo/trap/cpp/tarballs, where /databases/v1/demo/ seems to be your database directory.
Hi @Manouchehri,
The latest nightly v2.18.4+202409122320 has a fix that addresses what seemed to be one of the major causes of the ID pool exhaustion, so you might want to see if this fixes the issue you.
Hi @Manouchehri,
Were you able to create a database with a newer CLI version?
