Package: libnetgraph4 Version: 8.0-4 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I can't get netgraph to work under Debian/kFreeBSD. I was able to get ngctl to compile using a simple hack to work around #522773 and #522774 (#define __unused) but it's completely refusing to start: loony:/home/anarcat/src/ngctl-7.3# ./ngctl -d ngctl: bind(ngctl3745): Invalid argument ngctl: can't create node: Invalid argument The kernel then spawns the following: WARNING: attempt to net_add_domain(netgraph) after domainfinalize() ... regardless of whether I'm using the 7.2, 7.3 or 8.0 kernels. This error happens only once, when the netgraph modules get autoloaded. I'm also having problems making the PPPoE support of the ppp userland program work, a related problem described here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2010/05/msg00017.html (Note that I have also tried the ppp binary provided by the freebsd-hackedutils package, which leads to a similar problem: http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2010/05/msg00019.html ) So my current guess the problem lies within the netgraph library (as opposed to ngctl, ppp or the kernel), which would do some things in the wrong order for the kernel. I'm really just guessing here but that's what the error message error above says. :) (Then again, the above error message signals an error *within* the kernel's internal API, so the problem may also lie within the kernel.) This blocks kfreebsd users from doing anything significant with the library, so I'm marking this bug as grave. Furthermore, it's affecting the ppp functionality (keeps PPPoE from working) so it could even be upgraded to critical (if we want PPPoE in kfreebsd!!), but I'll let the package maintainer decide this. I hope this is clear enough and that my tests were complete enough. :) Let me know if you can reproduce. A. (More debugging/tracing guesswork below, skip if you already know how to fix this. :P) (net_add_domain() is how new protocols register "hooks" (like protocol families and hooks for connect() and bind() syscalls) within the kernel. This is defined in sys/domain.h and kern/uipc_domain.c which make me suspect the problem may also lie within...) (I have also traced the problem within ngctl, libgraph and the netgraph kernel module source code. The problem starts on the NgMkSockNode(3) call in ngctl's main.c:174. That function, part of libnetgraph, goes around creating the netgraph socket(2) and bind(2) (in sock.c:76) The above debugging output shows that it's during the bind(2) (sock.c:104) that the failure happens. The function registered to handle bind(2) syscalls in netgraph is ngc_bind() (according to ng_socket.c:1049). From there on there are multiple places that throw the EINVAL error we can see in the following trace of ngctl: 6034 ngctl CALL socket(PF_NETGRAPH,SOCK_DGRAM,0x2) 6034 ngctl RET socket 3 6034 ngctl CALL bind(0x3,0xbfbfe2a0,0) 6034 ngctl RET bind -1 errno 22 Invalid argument That's about as far I can trace this at this point.) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: kfreebsd-i386 (i686) Kernel: kFreeBSD 7.3-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_CA.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libnetgraph4 depends on: ii libbsd0 0.2.0-1 utility functions from BSD systems ii libc0.1 2.10.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib libnetgraph4 recommends no packages. libnetgraph4 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
