Description

There is actually a fairly good chance this is not a problem in Fedora at all. It just occurred to me a few days before I upgraded to Fedora 16, my router crashed and reset itself to factor settings. I manually reset the router back to the right configuration, but I just remembered previously I had the router unclocked as I had found at normal speed processes were dieing regularly. Now I don't remember that ever including wifi drops, but it could well be a system. I have just underclocked my router again. If the wifi works normally again, then I'll close this bug. I'll mark this as need info from myself as a reminder. No luck. The disconnect still happening with about the same frequency. Although not the same problem, this looks very similar to bug 590202. After reading the comments for bug 590202 I tried turning off IPv6 on the laptop wireless, and sure enough the connection has maintained itself for over an hour. This is really strange since the IPv6 configuration works... Strangely enough IPv6 has continued to work on my wifi connection with it turned off. I even have the correct IPv6 IP address. It seems much more likely this is a network manager bug than a kernel bug. If this is truly IPv6 related the following might help.

}; # End of RDNSS definition
}; # End of interface definition
Something I noticed that is really strange, is despite turning off IPv6 for the wireless connection in the configuration dialog, even across reboots IPv6 is still successfully configured. It seems turning off IPv6 in the network configuration dialog only changes the setting IPV6INIT to no. But even with that value as no, IPv6 is configured for the device, it just doesn't do what ever step is causing a failure 15-20 minutes later. Here are the settings in ifcfg-wlan0 that work: IPV6INIT=no IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no Here are the settings in ifcfg-wlan0 that do not work: IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no I suspect what is happening is the IPV6INIT flag is controlling if DHCPv6 is used, not if IPv6 in enabled for the device. Since I am using router advertisements, there is no need use DHCPv6 so it works. On the other hand if IPV6INIT is yes, it hangs around and eventually reports a failure because there is no DHCPv6 server. Basically this looks like a problem of applying flags and settings that were designed for IPV4 to IPV6. The following seems to map what the "IPV6" Methods drop downs really do: Ignore -> Configure with Router Advertisements Automatic -> Configure with Router Advertisements and then reconfigure with DHCPv6. If DHCPv6 fails recycle the connection after a long timeout. Here is what is expected: Ignore -> Configure with private address, or disable IPv6 for the device Automatic -> Configure with Router Advertisements or DHCPv6. (Whichever succeeds first.) Same thing happened to me too but after I've changed the settings according to the 7th comment the the connection working as expected, perfectly.
IPV6INIT=no
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
Actually the only thing I've changed from my initial settings was the IPV6INIT parameter which was set to 'yes'. After it was set to 'no' the connection remains up and running. This report is after 48++ hours and a few reboots after the change.

excerpt from syslog (daemon.debug)
I'm confirming this bug on Fedora 17 with the attached messages from syslog's daemon.debug.
Note this line:
Jan 21 20:48:57 surikata NetworkManager[11993]: NetworkManager[11993]: <info> (em2): device state change: activated -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') [100 120 5]
The “reason” is somewhat cryptic to me.
I've forgotten to include the version: NetworkManager-0.9.2-1.fc16.i686 I'm confirming the workaround of setting IPV6INIT=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* works. I've been without disconnect and even IP reconfigurations for at least an hour now. I'm adjusting the summary of this bug to reflect its relation to IPv6 and IPV6INIT. Let me please correct Bill: “Ignore -> Configure with private address, or disable IPv6 for the device Automatic -> Configure with Router Advertisements or DHCPv6. (Whichever succeeds first.)” It is not whichever succeeds first. Router Advertisements should always be used to configure IPv6 information. AdvManaged and AdvOtherConfig are RA flags that instruct hosts to use DHCPv6 to configure addressing and/or other configuration. As DHCPv6 can't be used to configure the default gateway (unless I missed something), it is not suitable for complete network configuration. That said, on a network with AdvManaged off and AdvOtherConfig off, the DHCPv6 client should not be run at all, and therefore it should not be able to fail. (In reply to comment #15) > Related? > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801052#c12 Probably not. The frequency of the drops is much higher in that bug, and not from the same cause. This bug is also present in Fedora 17 including some stuff from updates-testing.

Now that I look at it again, it seems the connection could be dropped as a reaction to IPv6 RDNSS information expiry: Mar 17 03:15:37 dragon NetworkManager[2555]: <debug> [1331950537.575186] [nm-ip6-manager.c:277] rdnss_expired(): (wlan0): IPv6 RDNSS information expired Mar 17 03:15:37 dragon NetworkManager[2555]: <debug> [1331950537.575365] [nm-ip6-manager.c:312] set_rdnss_timeout(): (wlan0): removing expired RA-provided nameserver fe80::20c:42ff:fe13:857b Mar 17 03:15:37 dragon NetworkManager[2555]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: activated -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') [100 120 5] In my case, the problem is definitely caused by the server configuration. radvd (1.6, on OpenWRT) by default sets AdvRDNSSLifetime to the value of MaxRtrAdvInterval. This is a bug and a race condition, as RDNSS can expire before it is renewed. Setting AdvRDNSSLifetime explicitely to 2*MaxRtrAdvInterval should fix the problem. It would be a good idea to make NetworkManager proactively send Router Solicitation when it's getting near when the timeout is coming. This would make the router send Router Advertisement and thus refresh the RDNSS before the timeout comes. Bill, can you please provide the radvd.conf or at least the value of MaxRtrAdvInterval? (In reply to comment #20) > Bill, can you please provide the radvd.conf or at least the value of > MaxRtrAdvInterval? See comment 6. Oh. It looks like MaxRtrAdvInterval is not available by radvddump. I logged into my router and this is what I found as /etc/radvd.conf:
$ sed 's,2001:...:..:...::,2001:xxx:xx:xxx::,' < /etc/radvd.conf
interface br0
{
IgnoreIfMissing on;
AdvSendAdvert on;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 60;
AdvHomeAgentFlag off;
AdvManagedFlag off;
AdvLinkMTU 1480;
prefix 2001:xxx:xx:xxx::/64
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
};
RDNSS 2001:xxx:xx:xxx::1 { };
};
„It looks like MaxRtrAdvInterval is not available by radvddump.“ It's because it's not included in RA packets. Thank you very much, this means you have MaxRtrAdvInterval equal to AdvRDNSSLifetime and the latter is unspecified. radvd on your router defaults AdvRDNSSLifetime to MaxRtrAdvInterval instead of 2*MaxRtrAdvInterval. This is a bug in radvd in your router. As a workaround, you can set AdvRDNSSLifetime manually. I had exactly the same problem (see above). NetworkManager definitely *should* handle it more gracefully, e.g. by sending Router Solicitation in advance, so that the router sends the information sooner. I have new information from my testing environment: The router sends RA very often (MaxRtrAdvInterval = 20). But the laptop doesn't recieve all af toe RA's.

This testing was performed by tcpdump on OpenWRT router and Fedora 17 host. Even though the local wireless connection looks pretty stable, you can see that the router is sending many more RAs than the host is recieving. This means setting AdvRDNSSLifetime to a higer value on the router side was a good workaround. Finally, this info suggests problems in the wifi connection and not exactly in NetworkManager or radvd.

Hmm, that log was slightly larger than I had intended. Sorry about that. Hi Ricky, your network seems to reconfigure too often. You are probably not experiencing this particular bug. Pavel Perhaps not, but disabling v6 appears to have fixed it. Peculiar. Ricky, please try to get a more thorough log, as I described in comment 25: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753482#c25 And file a new bug report and link it here. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 785772 *** I believe this bugreport was closed duplicate by mistake. I don't see any relation between this bug and bug 785772. as explained in the other bug, the issue is that NM's behavior is causing the kernel to drop all RAs after the first one, resulting in the RDNSS timeout eventually triggering. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 785772 *** I'm leaving reopening this bugreport on you now. But I believe this bug is not duplicate to the two others for the following reasons: 1) It has existed before them 2) It is *not* caused by RA not being accepted by NM 3) It is reproduced differently 4) It gives different errors One more thing, this bug is probably related to a problem present in RFC 6106 itself that I am trying to report to the IETF guys. Hm... indeed. I was misreading the "nm_system_replace_default_ip6_route(): (wlan0): failed to set IPv6 default route" message in these logs as being the kernel message from the other bug Thank you, Dan. I'm adding text of my e-mail to ipv6 (I hope this was the right place). I hope it helps. -- Hello, I'm starting my work on linux NetworkManager. I've been following several bugreports during the recent months that all lead to problems with maintaining the list of recursive nameservers. I've already spent quite some time analyzing RDNSS problems and I came to a conclusion that the problem actually lives in the RFC itself. Please look at section 5.1. in RFC 6106. It states: MaxRtrAdvInterval <= Lifetime <= 2*MaxRtrAdvInterval Considering MaxRtrAdvInterval the maximum time between RAs, setting Lifetime to MaxRtrAdvInterval IMO constitutes a race condition. Moreover, any Lifetime in this interval can timeout with just one or two lost RAs. This makes RA-based IPv6-only networks drop RDNSS regularly. In many implementations IPv6 and IPv4 are bound together so that if one of them fails, the whole link is restarted. This is also the case in NetworkManager. In the current situation, it's not advisable to use RFC 6106 in production because it can cause problems even to IPv4 applications. In the real world, radvd uses Lifetime=MaxRtrAdvInterval by default and NetworkManager internally adds 10s to the lifetime, that only helps to avoid the race condition but not lost packets that are common on wireless networks. I appreciate any help to get this right both in the standards and in the software. Cheers, Pavel Šimerda I confirmed this problem with NetworkManager-0.9.4-5.git20120403.fc17.x86_64 (from koji, you won't update to it because of version 0.9.4.0). MinRtrAdvInterval = 10 MaxRtrAdvInterval = 20 AdvRDNSSLifetime = 20 (equals to MaxRtrAdvInterval by default in radvd and in accord with RFC 6106) OK, so... 1. If AdvRDNSSLifetime is about to expire, and we haven't gotten another RA, we should send out a solicitation. But there's no way to trick the kernel into doing that for us, so we'd have to build and send it by hand... (Perhaps there needs to be some kernel API for this though.) 2. If AdvRDNSSLifetime is less than AdvDefaultLifetime (the lifetime of the default route), we could decide to just ignore AdvRDNSSLifetime, and use AdvDefaultLifetime for the RDNSS lifetime too. That seems vaguely plausible; both pieces of information are coming from the same router, so if we haven't received any new RAs from it, it seems reasonable to assume that they're both still good. The kernel does expose AdvDefaultLifetime as part of the netlink information on the default route, but, alas, libnl doesn't expose it to us, so we have no easy way to do this either... 3. So... we could just ignore AdvRDNSSLifetime, and say that we only drop that information if we receive a new RA that doesn't refresh it, or if the kernel drops the corresponding route? 1. Yes. We should (according to common sense) and MAY (according to RFC 6106). We should try to fix all three things: a) The RFC b) radvd c) NetworkManager 2. We could cheat a little bit, yes. We are already cheating about the 10 seconds. But... If there's not a *real* reason not to, I would like to keep the behavior as close to RFC as possible. Actually, when we fix these issues and start sending RS, I would like to try to remove the +10s trick. What about sending RS at expiry-10s? 3. We could. But this is clearly against the RFC. So if we do that, I think we should clearly document and communicate the reason. We have a unique change to document SLAAC including RDNSS in the real world. Test packages at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4045080 implement #1 (5 seconds before expiring the data, it will send out an RS to try to refresh it). Try it out... Pavel, can you try that koji build and see if it fixes things? Ah, sorry, I cannot try it here in Brno, as I don't have access to radvd configuration. I'll let you know when I'm at my home lab with better equipment ;). Still no opportunity to test. I've been experiencing the same issue but looking at the koji web page, I fail to see where to find the test packages... (In reply to comment #46) > I've been experiencing the same issue but looking at the koji web page, I fail > to see where to find the test packages... Ah, yeah, test builds get garbage-collected after a while, so those packages are no longer there. New build at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4086354. (follow the x86_64 or i686 link, then download the relevant rpm links at the bottom) I guess we're on the right track. I reverted the changes I had so I have IPV6INIT=yes and I was able to reproduce this bug without updating NetworkManager. So now, I just updated it with the packages from koji and well it failed because of SELinux: May 26 21:14:01 somehost setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/NetworkManager from create access on the rawip_socket . For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l d555fc9e-b54a-4404-9567-908c1482e9a3 May 26 21:14:06 somehost NetworkManager[10219]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: activated -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') [100 120 5] So the good news is NetworkManager did try to create the sollicitation packet, the bad news is it got smacked by SELinux. I'm going permissive to see if it fails again. It still fails, even in permissive mode: May 26 22:36:27 somehost setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/NetworkManager from create access on the rawip_socket . For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l d555fc9e-b54a-4404-9567-908c1482e9a3 May 26 22:36:27 somehost setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/NetworkManager from setopt access on the rawip_socket . For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l a8834f78-b069-4ad8-a197-a04349a2486d May 26 22:36:32 somehost NetworkManager[10219]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: activated -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') [100 120 5] After talking with Dan Winship, I'm coming up with an alternative solution: http://git.pavlix.net/gitweb/?p=NetworkManager.git;a=commitdiff;h=62f135d519fadd883cf72e0cd67f35269bae1d57;hp=9bf3c01e27f865cb93ed5115ed9c2ac260b53ecc This is much easier for the beginning and whe can revisit the lifetime problem after IETF takes action. This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
