In the zstream code, Coverity reported:
"The argument could be controlled by an attacker, who could invoke the
function with arbitrary values (for example, a very high or negative
buffer size)."
It did not report this in the kernel. This is likely because the
userspace code stored this in an int before passing it into the
allocator, while the kernel code stored it in a uint32_t.
However, this did reveal a potentially real problem. On 32-bit systems
and systems with only 4GB of physical memory or less in general, it is
possible to pass a large enough value that the system will hang. Even
worse, on Linux systems, the kernel memory allocator is not able to
support allocations up to the maximum 4GB allocation size that this
allows.
This had already been limited in userspace to 64MB by
`ZFS_SENDRECV_MAX_NVLIST`, but we need a hard limit in the kernel to
protect systems. After some discussion, we settle on 256MB as a hard
upper limit. Attempting to receive a stream that requires more memory
than that will result in E2BIG being returned to user space.

Coverity has long complained about the checksum being uninitialized if
an END record is processed before its BEGIN record. This should not
happen, but there was no code to check for it. I had left this unfixed
since it was a low priority issue, but then
9f4ede63d2 added another instance of this.
I am making an effort to "hold the line" to keep new coverity defect
reports from going unaddressed, so I find myself forced to fix this much
earlier than I had originally planned to address it.
The solution is to maintain a counter and a flag. Then use VERIFY
statements to verify the following runtime constraints:
* Every record either has a corresponding BEGIN record, is a BEGIN
record or is the end of stream END record for replication streams.
* BEGIN records cannot be nested. i.e. There must be an END record
before another BEGIN record may be seen.
Failure to meet these constraints will cause the program to exit.
This is sufficient to ensure that the checksum is never accessed when
uninitialized.

As new compression algorithms are added to ZFS, it could be useful for
people to recompress data with new algorithms. There is currently no
mechanism to do this aside from copying the data manually into a new
filesystem with the new algorithm enabled. This tool allows the
transformation to happen through zfs send, allowing it to be done
efficiently to remote systems and in an incremental fashion.
A new zstream command is added that decompresses WRITE records and
then recompresses them with a provided algorithm, and then re-emits
the modified send stream. It may also be possible to re-compress
embedded block pointers, but that was not attempted for the initial
version.
