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.

Fixed In Version: glibc-2.28-154.el8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.`Glibc` now includes definitions for `IPPROTO_ETHERNET`, `IPPROTO_MPTCP`, and `INADDR_ALLSNOOPERS_GROUP` Previously, the `Glibc` system library headers (`/usr/include/netinet/in.h`) did not include definitions of `IPPROTO_ETHERNET`, `IPPROTO_MPTCP`, and `INADDR_ALLSNOOPERS_GROUP`. As a consequence, applications needing these definitions failed to compile. With this update, the system library headers now include the new network constant definitions for `IPPROTO_ETHERNET`, `IPPROTO_MPTCP`, and `INADDR_ALLSNOOPERS_GROUP` resulting in correctly compiling applications.

Description Paolo Abeni 2021-02-18 16:40:04 UTC 
This is a request for backporting upstream commit:

commit f9ac84f92f151e07586c55e14ed628d493a5929d
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph>
Date:   Fri Apr 3 18:08:28 2020 +0000

    Add IPPROTO_ETHERNET and IPPROTO_MPTCP from Linux 5.6 to netinet/in.h.

so that user space application willing to migrate to MPTCP could do that more easily.
Comment 4 Sergey Kolosov 2021-04-12 09:56:34 UTC 
No regressions have been found.

Hi Carlos,

this is my first draft for this bugfix RN. It would be great if you could provide some feedback on the correctness of the information!
Thank you very much!


.`Glibc` system library headers now include definitions for `IPPROTO_ETHERNET`, `IPPROTO_MPTCP`, and `INADDR_ALLSNOOPERS_GROUP`

Previously, the system library headers (/usr/include/netinet/in.h) did not include definitions of `IPPROTO_ETHERNET`, `IPPROTO_MPTCP`, and `INADDR_ALLSNOOPERS_GROUP`. As a consequence, applications needing these definitions failed to compile. With this update, the system library headers now include the new network constant definitions for `IPPROTO_ETHERNET`, `IPPROTO_MPTCP`, and `INADDR_ALLSNOOPERS_GROUP` resulting in correctly compiling applications.

I would remove this:
"resulting in correctly compiling applications"

It is sufficient to say the constant are now defined. If you want to go
further I would add:
"Applications using these constants can now be compiled."

Thank you very much, Carlos!

The updated draft now looks like this:

.`Glibc` system library headers now include definitions for `IPPROTO_ETHERNET`, `IPPROTO_MPTCP`, and `INADDR_ALLSNOOPERS_GROUP`

Previously, the system library headers (/usr/include/netinet/in.h) did not include definitions of `IPPROTO_ETHERNET`, `IPPROTO_MPTCP`, and `INADDR_ALLSNOOPERS_GROUP`. As a consequence, applications needing these definitions failed to compile. With this update, the system library headers now include the new network constant definitions for `IPPROTO_ETHERNET`, `IPPROTO_MPTCP`, and `INADDR_ALLSNOOPERS_GROUP`. Applications using these constants can now be compiled.
