RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Steve Dickson 2016-02-22 16:22:22 UTC
Description of problem:
getservbyname("nfsrdma", "tcp") should return
   name 'nfsrdma' port 20049 proto 'tcp'

since that is one of the 3 nfsrdma entries in /etc/services 

$ grep nfsrdma /etc/services 
nfsrdma         20049/tcp               # Network File System (NFS) over RDMA
nfsrdma         20049/udp               # Network File System (NFS) over RDMA
nfsrdma         20049/sctp              # Network File System (NFS) over RDMA

but these are the values being returned 
   name 'nfsrdma' port 20814 proto 'tcp' 

and you will note port 20814 does not exist 
in /etc/sevices 



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.17-105.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use the following reproducer 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <netdb.h>

main()
{
	struct servent *sv = getservbyname("nfsrdma", "tcp");

	if (sv)
		printf("name '%s' port %d proto '%s'\n", 
		sv->s_name, sv->s_port, sv->s_proto);
}

Comment 2 Florian Weimer 2016-02-22 17:04:38 UTC
The returned port number is in network byte order.  Use this instead:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <netdb.h>

main()
{
	struct servent *sv = getservbyname("nfsrdma", "tcp");

	if (sv)
		printf("name '%s' port %d proto '%s'\n", 
		sv->s_name, ntohs(sv->s_port), sv->s_proto);
}

It's unfortunate the two numbers are so close together, otherwise it would be easier to spot the mistake.
