Hi, Thanks for the quick update. I've applied the 4 patches and built a new test package with the changes. The example test does indeed fail on the current version and passes on the new version as well.
I went looking for any other libnl3 tests we might run to catch any possible regression that might occur when accepting the patches I looked at the RH bug you referenced and found another testcase ( used to expose the issue. I ran that on the updated package and it passes tests a, b and c, but not d. I examined the patch applied and it included more fixes, specifically: Subject: [PATCH 09/10] socket: clear port when unable to generate local port which the 'd' test which attempts to test by allocate more than 1024 local ports. Should a fix for that also be included? ** Attachment added: "libnl3-test-rh1249158.py" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnl3/+bug/1511735/+attachment/4535202/+files/libnl3-test-rh1249158.py -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libnl3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1511735 Title: libnl: fail to bind() netlink sockets Status in libnl3 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libnl3 source package in Trusty: New Bug description: The following upstream patches are needed in order to avoid failures when binding a netlink socket: 1f734a8f892a lib/socket: randomize the generated local port http://git.infradead.org/users/tgr/libnl.git/commitdiff/1f734a8f892a 4dd5fdd0af2c lib/socket: retry generate local port in nl_connect on ADDRINUSE http://git.infradead.org/users/tgr/libnl.git/commitdiff/4dd5fdd0af2c 027157898708 lib/socket: don't fail if no more local ports can be assigned in nl_socket_alloc http://git.infradead.org/users/tgr/libnl.git/commitdiff/027157898708 0fd510b3673f lib/socket: use proper typed constant UINT32_MAX for uint32_t typed port http://git.infradead.org/users/tgr/libnl.git/commitdiff/0fd510b3673f Without these patches, an application which opens and closes regularly netlink sockets can easily fails to bind them.
