** Description changed: [Impact] When booting with iBFT, the network configuration is performed by open-iscsi as part of initramfs.local-top instead of by klibc-ipconfig. This includes populating /run/net-*.conf which is consumed among other things, by cloud-init. Currently no attempt to determine PROTO is made, and PROTO=none is hard coded into the file which cloud-init does not recognise and crashes out. Further to this, open-iscsi in the current version (xenial through zesty) does not correctly parse the iBFT origin into the boot protocol in "iscsistart -f" and always returns "STATIC". This is fixed upstream. [Test Case] [Regression Potential] + We believe the regression risk is "low" and don't envision any. + + The package (including the fixes) has been intensively tested pre-SRU. + + If regression is found, it'll be clearly less critical than this actual + bug where cloud-init breaks because of this actual missing piece of code + and It'll most likely only affect system booting with iBFT. + + Additionally, the patches has been proven to work Upstream and Debian + for a couple of years now. [Other Info] - + * This SRU includes the following upstream/debian fixes : - # Debian: + # Debian: 0347300 initramfs: populate PROTO= entry in /run/net-*.conf from iBFT # Upstream - 08_Parse-origin-value-from-iBFT.patch --> https://github.com/open-iscsi/open-iscsi/commit/78e24f50ab754f35f4aa208ade7c9fd794d82036#diff-c53311d3f6725aa63577b7bf4b582c3d - 09_Represent-DHCP-origin-as-an-enum-not-a-string.patch --> https://github.com/open-iscsi/open- iscsi/commit/4959a89f421fdebc521f48003a79c2161e59d192#diff- c53311d3f6725aa63577b7bf4b582c3d - 10_iBFT-origin-is-an-enum-not-a-string.patch --> https://github.com /open-iscsi/open-iscsi/commit/3f15a2270a7efb1a6ee8ef555b01f3d8674818b9 #diff-3ba89d9a64dda0ffc3664bbc27b0fa27 [Original Description] When booting with iBFT, the network configuration is performed by open- iscsi as part of initramfs.local-top instead of by klibc-ipconfig.
