Subject: Cannot connect to netlink socket??
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2015 14:29:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55A973AF.8090400@candelatech.com> (raw)

Any idea what can cause this?  The system was working fine earlier,
so it is compiled with netlink support, etc.

Last thing someone did was to add 258 mac-vlans on top of
an ethernet port.  Removing macvlan module did not improve
things.

'ifconfig -a' works fine.

This is on a 4.0.4 (+ local hacks) kernel, nothing overly weird in dmesg, and no
new dmesg info when this fails to work:

strace ip addr show

...

socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW|SOCK_CLOEXEC, NETLINK_ROUTE) = 3
setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, [32768], 4) = 0

bind(3, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, 12) = 0
getsockname(3, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=16631, groups=00000000}, [12]) = 0

write(4, "Cannot send dump request: Connec"..., 45Cannot send dump request: Connection refused

close(4)                                = 0
munmap(0x7fb40d3c9000, 4096)            = 0
exit_group(1)                           = ?
+++ exited with 1 +++



A reboot 'fixed' things, and we have not been able to reproduce the
problem.


Thanks,
Ben
