Description Stuart D Gathman 2016-04-25 15:59:30 UTC

Description of problem:
cjdns does not create tun device at boot time

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cjdns-17.3-12.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. reboot
2. ifconfig
3.

Actual results:
no tun device for cjdns

Expected results:
tun device for cjdns listed in ifconfig

Additional info:
systemctl restart cjdns creates the tun device as expected.  How does this happen?  Has something else loaded the tun driver by that time?

cjdns-17.3-11 works at boot.  The problem is that the systemd service has to load the tun driver, which it does unconditionally in release 11.  Release 12 loads the tun driver only if /dev/tun does not already exist.  This allows cjdns to run in Fedora under openvz - but apparently /dev/tun exists even without the driver.  Perhaps the solution is to run modprobe unconditionally, but ignore any errors?

Comment 1 Stuart D Gathman 2016-04-25 19:51:25 UTC

Normally Fedora creates /dev/net/tun, and the tun driver is auto-loaded when accessing /dev/net/tun.  But the auto-load only works if the accessing process has module-load privilege in selinux.  Cjdns does not have module-load privilege by design, so auto-load does not work.  

Unconditionally running modprobe works, except under openVZ.  

I can test whether running under openVZ by checking whether the output of wc -c /proc/modules starts with 0.  But then we still need to check that /dev/net/tun exists and fail otherwise.

Comment 2 Stuart D Gathman 2016-05-04 19:49:56 UTC

A fix for this is being submitted.
