Additional environment details (AWS, VirtualBox, physical, etc.):

I first encountered this when trying to build a Docker image in AWS CodeBuild using the image aws/codebuild/amazonlinux2-x86_64-standard:3.0.

I built the image myself from https://github.com/aws/aws-codebuild-docker-images/tree/master/al2/x86_64/standard/3.0 and I can reproduce it reliably.

Here is the daemon log file:
dockerd-logfile.txt

It looks as though the root cause is a stack overflow.

Please provide a reproducer

This seems to do it without requiring any additional files:

FROM amazonlinux:latest AS sdks

# These are required for SDKMAN.
# `which` should not be required but it is.
# See https://github.com/sdkman/sdkman-cli/issues/759.
RUN yum install -y \
  gzip \
  tar \
  unzip \
  which \
  zip

RUN touch "/root/.bashrc"

RUN curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh' | bash

# The version isn't a real parameter but it serves to invalidate the cache.
RUN curl -s 'https://get.sdkman.io?version=5.8.1' | bash

RUN echo '14.1.0' > '.nvmrc'
RUN printf 'java=14.0.1.hs-adpt\nsbt=1.3.10\n' > '.sdkmanrc'

RUN source "/root/.bashrc" && nvm install

RUN source "/root/.bashrc" && sdk install java '14.0.1.hs-adpt'
RUN source "/root/.bashrc" && sdk install sbt
# This just double checks that the versions are the same as the .sdkmanrc file.
RUN source "/root/.bashrc" && sdk env


FROM amazonlinux:latest

RUN yum install -y \
  curl \
  git \
  openssh

COPY --from=sdks '/root/.nvm' '/root/.nvm'

I can't seem to reproduce this on my mac, only within that amazonlinux2 container.

[tonistiigi]

Please provide all the steps that are needed to reproduce. I would guess you don't get the above error by just running docker build . with default options with the above Dockerfile. If it needs a specific machine from aws, that is fine but again you need to provide steps for getting that environment and configuration that is causing you issues.

[steinybot]

First you need to build the AWS CodeBuild image (or just run the final docker build step in AWS CodeBuild which was how I encountered this issue to begin with):

$ git clone https://github.com/aws/aws-codebuild-docker-images.git
$ cd aws-codebuild-docker-images/al2/x86_64/standard/3.0/
$ docker build -t aws/codebuild/standard:2.0 .

Get the files to reproduce it (I don't know what is relevant):

$ cd ..
$ git clone git@github.com:steinybot/bug-reports.git
$ cd bug-reports
$ git checkout moby/unexpected-eof

Now run the container (this is the long way but it works):

$ docker run -it --detach --name codebuild2 --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/src --privileged=true --entrypoint bin/bash aws/codebuild/amazonlinux2-x86_64-standard:3.0
$ docker start codebuild2
$ docker attach codebuild2
bash-4.2# cd /src
bash-4.2# dockerd -D -l debug &>dockerd-logfile.txt &
bash-4.2# DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --build-arg BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE=1 --cache-from "community-build-image:latest" --file docker/Dockerfile --tag "community-build-image:latest" .

An interesting thing is that once I reproduce the issue then I can also reproduce it with the smaller self contained Dockerfile above but if I start with a clean container then it requires the larger one with additional files. Doing trivial changes like removing curl from the apt-get command would prevent the error.

[steinybot]

@tonistiigi are these steps sufficient to reproduce the problem?

Perhaps this issue belongs in https://github.com/moby/buildkit instead. The problem doesn't happen if I remove DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 and BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE=1 so it would appear to be caused by enabling buildkit.

[tonistiigi]

@steinybot Yes, I can reproduce now.

I think this might be fixed with moby/buildkit#1382

[tonistiigi]

In case you prefer a workaround to upgrade, the thing that triggers this case is when you are copying the same files from the stage where they were already copied https://github.com/steinybot/bug-reports/blob/moby/unexpected-eof/docker/Dockerfile#L20-L21 https://github.com/steinybot/bug-reports/blob/moby/unexpected-eof/docker/Dockerfile#L41-L42

That creates a loop where the COPY source is cached by 2 cache locations (stage and context) so the first copy has a cache based on its own stage result.

If you remove --from=sdks from https://github.com/steinybot/bug-reports/blob/moby/unexpected-eof/docker/Dockerfile#L41-L42 this build should work fine again. You also need to delete your previous cache that already has the loops.

[steinybot]

Thanks a lot for the update! I'll give that a go. Hopefully I can remove the cache from AWS CodeBuild.
