Package: lldpd Version: 0.5.7-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, We use lldp to get information about the parents of our hosts (about 100 nodes). Some time ago we switched to also broadcasting lldp information to the tap interfaces so the vms running on the machine can get that information. Since then lldpd has been randomly and on rare occasions (i.e. one host per week) freezing completely. The proccess is still alive but lldcpctl gets stuck and the daemon is not sending data (lldpctl from a vm is empty). Restarting the daemon fixes it.
We also see these logs which must be relevant: lldp_send: unable to send packet on real device for tap14: No buffer space available I haven't tested with the newer package available on backports but since the bug is difficult to reproduce -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.8 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lldpd depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u7 ii libsnmp15 5.4.3~dfsg-2.8+deb7u1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+wheezy2 lldpd recommends no packages.
