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: libnl-1.1-14.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The port allocation/de-allocation was not safe in multi-threaded applications and the logic was incorrect, which resulted in some applications and other libraries being unable to initialize libnl. Port allocation/de-allocation and logic is now fixed, and libnl can now be initialized.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:0795 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE libnl bug fix update 2011-05-18 18:08:09 UTC

Description Daniel Berrangé 2011-02-15 17:02:26 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #677526 +++

Description of problem:

port allocation (socket.c ; line 134):
used_ports_map[i] |= (1UL << n);

- that's going to set a bit

port deallocation (socket.c; line 156) :
used_ports_map[nr / 32] &= ~((nr % 32) + 1);


- that's going to produce garbage [no wonder things don't work]


used_ports_map[nr / 32] &= ~(1 << (nr % 32));

or

used_ports_map[nr / 32] &= ~(1 << (nr & 0x1f));

- would probably be much better 




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libnl-1.1-12.fc14.x86_64
libnl-debuginfo-1.1-12.fc14.x86_64
libnl-devel-1.1-12.fc14.x86_64

Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2011-02-15 17:05:03 UTC
This bug is causing failures in libvirt's VEPA support in some scenarios (see upstream thread http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-February/msg00466.html)

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-02-15 17:17:53 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 5 Stefan Berger 2011-02-25 00:43:43 UTC
Dear 'Red Hat Product Management', the correct functioning of other components, i.e., those in libvirt, depend on the correct functioning of libnl. So, we would like to propose this request for RHEL 6.1.

Comment 14 Laine Stump 2011-03-28 06:50:51 UTC
A fix for this bug has been applied and is included in libnl-1.1-14.el6:

   https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/buildinfo?buildID=160656

Comment 17 Laine Stump 2011-04-06 14:50:20 UTC
This error:

  error: internal error failed to get number of interfaces on host (netcf:
  unspecified error - errors in loading some config files)
  error:Failed to list active interfaces

is unrelated to the libnl problems. It is caused by Bug 690286. You will need to install augeas-0.7.2-6.el6 to eliminate that problem.

Comment 19 Misha H. Ali 2011-05-03 01:30:11 UTC
    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
