Sourceware 24047 0 P2 RESOLVED libresolv should use IP_RECVERR/IPV6_RECVERR to avoid long timeouts 2020-11-26 20:12:31 UTC

Description Florian Weimer 2019-01-28 13:34:04 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1670028 +++

The Linux kernel does not forward certain ICMP errors to userspace unless IP_RECVERR/IPV6_RECVERR is specified.  We should use this socket option in the DNS stub resolver, as suggested in the upstream bug.

Comment 3 Florian Weimer 2019-06-04 14:31:50 UTC
Upstream commit:

commit 08504de71813ddbd447bfbca4a325cbe8ce8bcda
Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer>

    resolv: Enable full ICMP errors for UDP DNS sockets [BZ #24047]
    
    The Linux kernel suppresses some ICMP error messages by default for
    UDP sockets.  This commit enables full ICMP error reporting,
    hopefully resulting in faster failover to working name servers.

Hurd-specific follow-on fix (optional):

commit 043440e761d395e1f507d9faa6e82b3fe4536c3f
Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer>
Date:   Wed Mar 13 14:58:58 2019 +0100

    hurd: Add no-op version of __res_enable_icmp [BZ #24047]
    
    Mach does not support IP_RECVERR, so replace this function with a
    stub in a sysdeps override for Hurd.
    
    This fixes commit 08504de71813ddbd447bfbca4a325cbe8ce8bcda
    ("resolv: Enable full ICMP errors for UDP DNS sockets [BZ #24047]").

For verification, I think it is sufficient to check that strace shows the additional setsockopt call.

Comment 5 Sergey Kolosov 2019-09-09 07:05:54 UTC
Verified with strace
