From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/125.5.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.12 Description of problem: Receive a "bogus binding state" message for every address in the pool. Due to usage of the __attribute__(("byte")) on the lease struct members of type binding_state_t. Possibly a gcc problem. (using gcc-3.4.3-12). Solution is to just declare the binding_state_t struct with the "packed" attribute to acheive the same result in a more portable way. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dhcp-3.0.2rc3-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpmbuild --rebuild dhcp-3.0.2rc3-1.src.rpm 2. rpm -Uvh dhc* 3. observe system log Actual Results: for me, 57 times I get the message dhcpd: Lease with bogus binding state: 257 dhcpd then will not hand out any leases, claiming that none are available. Expected Results: no such messages, served leases Additional info: --- dhcp-3.0.1/includes/dhcpd.h.orig 2004-06-10 12:59:29.000000000 -0500 +++ dhcp-3.0.1/includes/dhcpd.h 2005-01-04 15:59:10.287041007 -0600 @@ -255,7 +255,7 @@ } dhcp_control_object_t; /* Lease states: */ -typedef enum { +typedef enum __attribute__ ((__packed__)) { FTS_FREE = 1, FTS_ACTIVE = 2, FTS_EXPIRED = 3, @@ -306,9 +306,9 @@ # define EPHEMERAL_FLAGS (MS_NULL_TERMINATION | \ UNICAST_BROADCAST_HACK) - binding_state_t __attribute__ ((mode (__byte__))) binding_state; - binding_state_t __attribute__ ((mode (__byte__))) next_binding_state; - binding_state_t __attribute__ ((mode (__byte__))) desired_binding_state; + binding_state_t binding_state; + binding_state_t next_binding_state; + binding_state_t desired_binding_state; struct lease_state *state;
Hi - as you will notice from the dhcp.spec file, dhcp-3.0.2rc3-1 is to be compiled with gcc33, because of gcc bug #144358 : --- dhpc.spec, @line 142: RPM_OPT_FLAGS=`echo $RPM_OPT_FLAGS | sed 's/\ \-mtune\=[^\=\ ]*//'` ./configure --copts "$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" make %{?_smp_mflags} CC="gcc33" --- Did you try installing the default binary RPMs from Red Hat and observe the 'bogus binding state 257' problem ? If so, which architecture are you using ? There could be a problem with gcc33 on our build server. It is strange (or perhaps an RPM bug ?) that the 'rpm --rebuild' command did not use the gcc33 compiler specified in the .spec file . What is the output of $ gcc33 -v on your system ? Doing an 'rpmbuild -vvv --rebuild dhcp-3.0.2rc3.src.rpm 2>&1 | tee /tmp/dhcp_build.log' would show which compiler was being used and record the build log. I had considered making the same change as you did, or in simply declaring the binding_state_t members like: uint8_t binding_state; It has yet not been fully tested what the effect of changing this crucial structure definition will be on the DHCP server . Also we don't want to make the change only in Red Hat's DHCP, but also upstream in the ISC DHCP code. I am in contact with the ISC DHCP developer on this issue and we are deciding how best to resolve it longterm . *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 144250 ***
