Public bug reported:
Under certain conditions, a restart of rpcbind can prevent it from
listening on the ports it's supposed to listen on.
If there are open connections to rpcbind when it shuts down, those
connections will end up in TIME_WAIT. Because rpcbind doesn't use the
SO_REUSEADDR socket option, those TIME_WAIT connections prevent it from
binding to the same port before those connections have timed out.
To reproduce:
root@satwelltest1:~# nc localhost sunrpc &
[1] 12244
root@satwelltest1:~# stop portmap
portmap stop/waiting
[1]+ Done nc localhost sunrpc
root@satwelltest1:~# start portmap
portmap start/running, process 12252
root@satwelltest1:~# rpcinfo -p localhost
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused
/var/log/daemon.log contains:
Jan 31 16:03:53 satwelltest1 rpcbind: cannot bind tcp: Address already
in use
And notice that rpcbind is actually running, but is only bound to the
TCP sunrpc port on IPv6, not IPv4:
root@satwelltest1:~# lsof -p 12252 | grep :sunrpc
rpcbind 12252 root 6u IPv4 32182 0t0 UDP *:sunrpc
rpcbind 12252 root 10u IPv6 32190 0t0 UDP *:sunrpc
rpcbind 12252 root 12u IPv6 32194 0t0 TCP *:sunrpc
(LISTEN)
This is on Precise with rpcbind 0.2.0-7ubuntu1.
