Description of problem: init.ipv6-global either consumes all cpu & half of system memory or segfaults with ipv6 enabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.40-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.If system is already running with networking enabled, /etc/init.d/network stop will cause init.ipv6-global to use all of a CPU and roughly 200MB of RAM until killed. 2. This usually results in a hang then segfault during boot. 3. Actual results: Network doesn't go down or system hangs. Expected results: Network starts/stops/restarts normally. Additional info: setting NETWORKING_IPV6=no in /etc/sysconfig/network gets around the problem and makes the system usable.
It looks like that when we call 'init.ipv6-global stop pre' from /etc/init.d/network we get stuck in an infinite loop. you can also duplicate the same behavior by calling init.ipv6-global from the command line. + ACTION=stop + POSITION=pre + '[' yes = yes ']' + '[' -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions-ipv6 ']' + . /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions-ipv6 ++ . ./network-functions-ipv6 +++ . ./network-functions-ipv6 ++++ . ./network-functions-ipv6
