            Bug ID: 27627
           Summary: GDB cannot get long threadinfo data over UDP
           Product: gdb
           Version: 9.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dinc.tarkan at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

I am using remote-target debugging and connected to target over UDP.
I have one process and 60 threads and every thread has 30 characters long name
and using a non-stop debug. So the thread info xml data is over 1kB.
gdb first ask for process info with "qXfer:osdata:read:processes:0,283"
Since the data is bigget than 643 (0x283) byte, the answer is "m<osdata
type="processes">...". gdb understands the multiple packet format and continues
to ask for osdata information "qXfer:osdata:read:processes:283,283"
and so on until it receives the package startind with 'l'.
Later gdb asks for thread info "qXfer:thread:read::0,44b" and the answer is
"m<threads>...." but after that gdb stop asking the remaining thread info. The
xml data is incomplete and when it trys to parse the data, gdb terminates due
to an error.
I changed the connection type to TCP, nothing else changed and it works as
expected.
