Thanks for the information you provided. I set up a Ubuntu Jammy VM with ssh and dnsmasq running and unfortunately I cannot reproduce it just with that. There might be something else happening in your system.
If you could provide information about all processes running in your system when this happens it would be great. It could at least serve as a lead for us to keep investigating this issue, right now I am not sure what's going on. ** Changed in: dnsmasq (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1980146 Title: dnsmasq often using 100% of CPU Status in dnsmasq package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Release: 22.04 Codename: jammy Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-40-generic x86_64 ⏵ apt-cache policy dnsmasq Installed: 2.86-1.1ubuntu0.1 dnsmasq is caught in a loop after every dns request, resulting in 100% CPU usage for several minutes each time. This leads to a hot and lethargic computer. During this time thousands of the following messages (see below) are printed from strace. The loop tends to obsess on denied connections, but there are so many I'm not 100% sure. systemd-resolved is _not_ running, some bugs refer to that. ⏵ head /etc/dnsmasq.d/foo.conf address=/#/127.0.0.2 port=53 resolv-file=/var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf ⏵ sudo strace -p 3519 (dnsmasq) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}], 9, -1) = 1 ([{fd=4, revents=POLLIN}]) recvmsg(4, {msg_name={sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(60224), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, msg_namelen=28 => 16, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\302\221\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\17classify- client\10ser"..., iov_len=4096}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_control=[{cmsg_len=28, cmsg_level=SOL_IP, cmsg_type=IP_PKTINFO, cmsg_data={ipi_ifindex=if_nametoindex("lo"), ipi_spec_dst=inet_addr("127.0.0.53"), ipi_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.53")}}], msg_controllen=32, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 54 ioctl(4, SIOCGIFNAME, {ifr_ifindex=1, ifr_name="lo"}) = 0 sendto(14, "\302\221\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\17classify-client\10ser"..., 54, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.53")}, 16) = 54 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1980146/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
