Description Paul Wouters 2016-10-12 00:12:18 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1383845 +++

This action causes a delete + add + initiate, the leak happens between delete and initiate. Apparently this can be 30s

A workaround is to use dpdaction=hold instead of dpdaction=restart

the hold action prevents the delete + add and puts the existing connection/state into initiating mode.

Comment 5 Paul Wouters 2017-09-06 03:49:06 UTC

This bug won't be fixed for rhel6.

As a workaround, please use dpdaction=hold
