This makes non-EDNS clients (nslookup) receive a "shortened" answer even when UDP returns a truncated reply for a new TCP query. For instance, - If the client supports EDNS: $ dig +noall +answer testing.irongiantdesign.com @127.0.0.53 | wc -l 30 - If the client does not support EDNS: $ dig +noedns +noall +answer testing.irongiantdesign.com @127.0.0.53 | wc -l 29 In the second case, no-EDNS, TCP should provide the complete answer, but it's capped at UDP's size. [Test Case] Query systemd-resolved with a domain name that resolves to multiple (lots.. 30+) A records. A client with EDNS support (dig) will receive all of them, a client without support (nslookup or dig +noedns) will have a truncated list. Using the example above: EDNS: dig +noall +answer testing.irongiantdesign.com @127.0.0.53 | wc -l non-EDNS: dig +noedns +noall +answer testing.irongiantdesign.com @127.0.0.53 | wc -l [Regression potential] Minimal. This change only affects TCP requests, and the new size is already used in the code for other requests. [Other Info] Upstream bug: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/10816 Fixed upstream with commit: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/e6eed9445956cfa496e1db933bfd3530db23bfce [Original Description] Querying a domain name that has >512 bytes in records (e.g. 30+ A records), the number of results depends on the DNS client used: - If the client supports EDNS: $ dig +noall +answer testing.irongiantdesign.com @127.0.0.53 | wc -l 30 - If the client does not support EDNS: $ dig +noedns +noall +answer testing.irongiantdesign.com @127.0.0.53 | wc -l 29 Normally a client that doesn't support EDNS would receive a truncated reply from the initial UDP connection (limited by the spec to 512 bytes) and a second query would be established via TCP to receive the complete results. In this case, the number of results is the same regardless of the protocol used (29).
