[Bug 1527902] Re: 3.13.0-71: IPv6 UDP DNS packets are not received

 

I built a Trusty test kernel with a revert of the three commits
mentioned in comment: #1.  The test kernel can be downloaded from:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1527902/

Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?  If it does,
then we can narrow which of those three commit is the cause.  If the bug
still exits, we will probably want to perform a kernel bisect.

Note, with this test kernel, you need to install both the linux-image
and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Thanks in advance!

Title:
  3.13.0-71: IPv6 UDP DNS packets are not received

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in linux-lts-trusty package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  After upgrading linux kernel from version 3.13.0-68 to 3.13.0-71 then
  Kopete (IM messenger) stopped working, cannot connect to any jabber
  server.

  I started debugging this problem and found out that, problem resolve
  when I boot back 3.13.0-68 kernel version (without touching any system
  files or packages). When I boot 3.13.0-71 Kopete always does not
  connect.

  Next I debugged that problem on 3.13.0-71 is just when
  /etc/resolv.conf contains only IPv6 addresses of DNS servers.

  Problem is comes down to dns resolver (jabber in Kopete has its own
  for SRV records) and syscall recvfrom() (on IPv6 socket) always return
  error -EAGAIN without any data returned. But wireshark see that DNS
  response was recevied.

  So it looks like that after 3.13.0-68 kernel was included some change
  which broke receiving UDP packets via IPv6 socket. IPv4 is OK.
