Description Rafael Fonseca 2016-08-10 14:37:36 UTC
Description of problem: when ruby is compiled under kernel >= 4.7, we get the following error

  1) Failure:
TestSocketNonblock#test_udp_recv_nonblock [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-2.3.1/test/socket/test_nonblock.rb:128]:
cygwin 1.5.19 has a problem to send an empty UDP packet. [ruby-dev:28915].
Exception raised:
<#<Timeout::Error: execution expired>>.

  2) Failure:
TestSocketNonblock#test_udp_recvfrom_nonblock [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-2.3.1/test/socket/test_nonblock.rb:106]:
cygwin 1.5.19 has a problem to send an empty UDP packet. [ruby-dev:28915].
Exception raised:
<#<Timeout::Error: execution expired>>.

ruby -v: ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [powerpc64le-linux]
uncommon.mk:612: recipe for target 'yes-test-almost' failed
make: *** [yes-test-almost] Error 2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.1-57


How reproducible: always when kernel>=4.7 is used


Additional info: it happens in both ppc64 and ppc64le. Note that the current Fedora builders don't user kernel 4.7, so you can't reproduce it in koji but it can be reproduced in a mockbuild.

It seems to be issue on my x86_64 as well ...

Comment 2 Vít Ondruch 2016-08-16 07:12:55 UTC
Reassigning to Kernel, since this is Kernel regression IMO.

Comment 3 Vít Ondruch 2016-08-16 07:21:58 UTC
Just FTR, these are the lines where the tests fail:

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/test/socket/test_nonblock.rb#L106
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/test/socket/test_nonblock.rb#L128

and yes, there used to be some issue with cygwin, which couldn't send empty UDP packet, but that doesn't be the case.

Comment 4 Vít Ondruch 2016-08-16 07:43:28 UTC
This can be used to disable the test cases in case this should become issue on builders:

Comment 5 Vít Ondruch 2016-08-17 08:17:57 UTC
I should probably mention the kernel version I am using:

$ uname -a
Linux unused-4-132.brq.redhat.com 4.7.0-2.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jul 27 13:39:50 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-4.5.0-1.fc25.x86_64
kernel-4.6.0-1.fc25.x86_64
kernel-4.7.0-2.fc26.x86_64

Comment 6 Laura Abbott 2016-08-23 16:05:47 UTC
I'm seeing the same behavior and am doing a kernel bisect. The 4.7.2 update is going to be filed in bodhi for more system wide testing. We'll see what happens from there.

    udp: remove headers from UDP packets before queueing
    
    Remove UDP transport headers before queueing packets for reception.
    This change simplifies a follow-up patch to add MSG_PEEK support.

This seems to be the bad commit. Going to follow up with networking folks.

Comment 8 Laura Abbott 2016-08-24 00:05:41 UTC
Networking maintainers gave a fix. I applied it to the appropriate branches so it should get picked up the next time we do a build. 4.7.2-100 and 4.7.2-200 do not have the fix though.

(In reply to Laura Abbott from comment #8)
Good news. Thank you Laura for analysis and pushing this forward.
