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.
