summary: Test for bz676039 (Resolver fails to return all addresses of) description: | Bug summary: Resolver fails to return all addresses of multi-homed hosts in /etc/hosts Bugzilla link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676039 Description: getaddrinfo does not return all ip addresses on first call when name resolution is done from /etc/hosts. This has been fixed by the following commits upstream: 1f0398248c1c581a1203c0d294acde295b949fea 1ce7d80ddc62d4bb3e8e4f89fbcb6fa21361733d 1ce7d80ddc62d4bb3e8e4f89fbcb6fa21361733d is needed because nscd links in getaddrinfo. The side-effect is that a similar bug in nscd will also be fixed (upstream bug #4814). Private branch: private-spoyarek-ROS00401237 Build: http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=3051905 Customer has verified that the patch works This issue was first reported to Oracle as a problem with Java. The public link to the report can be found here: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7007462 Consider the following setup on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.5 x64. 1) Add the following lines to /etc/hosts: multihost 1.1.1.1 multihost 2.2.2.2 multihost 3.3.3.3 2) Add the following line to /etc/host.conf: multi on 3) Compile and execute the following program (provided by Oracle Java engineering team): /* This test code is to be used for demonstrating the * issue associated with SR 2-8229521. */ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include void dump_res(struct addrinfo * p_res){ struct addrinfo *iter = p_res; while(iter != 0){ struct sockaddr_in *addr1b; addr1b = (struct sockaddr_in *)iter->ai_addr; printf("getaddrinfo returns: %s %d %d\n", inet_ntoa(addr1b->sin_addr) , iter->ai_family, iter->ai_protocol ); iter=iter->ai_next; } } int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ if (argc != 2){ printf("Usage prog hostname\n"); exit(7); } struct addrinfo hints, *res; int error; bzero(&hints, sizeof(hints)); hints.ai_flags = AI_CANONNAME; hints.ai_family = AF_UNSPEC; printf("======== RH BUG ===============\n"); if ( (error = getaddrinfo(argv[1], NULL, &hints, &res) ) ){ perror("getaddrinfo"); exit(-1); } dump_res(res); freeaddrinfo(res); printf("======== WORKAROUND ===============\n"); hints.ai_family = AF_INET; if ( (error = getaddrinfo(argv[1], NULL, &hints, &res) ) ){ perror("getaddrinfo"); exit(-1); } dump_res(res); freeaddrinfo(res); } 4) You can see the following output from the above program: # ./a.out multihost ======== RH BUG =============== getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 6 getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 17 getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 0 ======== WORKAROUND =============== getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 6 getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 17 getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 0 getaddrinfo returns: 2.2.2.2 2 6 getaddrinfo returns: 2.2.2.2 2 17 getaddrinfo returns: 2.2.2.2 2 0 getaddrinfo returns: 3.3.3.3 2 6 getaddrinfo returns: 3.3.3.3 2 17 getaddrinfo returns: 3.3.3.3 2 0 Note that a similarly configured Ubuntu 10.10 Server (x64), provides the following - correct - output: $ ./a.out multihost ======== RH BUG =============== getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 6 getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 17 getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 0 getaddrinfo returns: 2.2.2.2 2 6 getaddrinfo returns: 2.2.2.2 2 17 getaddrinfo returns: 2.2.2.2 2 0 getaddrinfo returns: 3.3.3.3 2 6 getaddrinfo returns: 3.3.3.3 2 17 getaddrinfo returns: 3.3.3.3 2 0 ======== WORKAROUND =============== getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 6 getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 17 getaddrinfo returns: 1.1.1.1 2 0 getaddrinfo returns: 2.2.2.2 2 6 getaddrinfo returns: 2.2.2.2 2 17 getaddrinfo returns: 2.2.2.2 2 0 getaddrinfo returns: 3.3.3.3 2 6 getaddrinfo returns: 3.3.3.3 2 17 getaddrinfo returns: 3.3.3.3 2 0 In other words, hints.ai_family / hints.ai_flags for getaddrinfo are not working properly.
