Subject: 2.6.30: tun losing ip
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2009 01:18:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A348824.1030503@lammerts.org> (raw)


Hi,
I'm having problems with openvpn clients on 2.6.30. I get stuff like this:

TUN/TAP device tun0 opened
TUN/TAP TX queue length set to 100
/sbin/ifconfig tun0 10.2.222.50 pointopoint 10.2.222.49 mtu 1500
/sbin/route add -net 10.2.222.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.2.222.49
SIOCADDRT: No such process

There is something strange going on with tun devices:

# tunctl -t tun1; ifconfig tun1 1.2.3.4; ifconfig tun1; sleep 1; ifconfig 
tun1
Set 'tun1' persistent and owned by uid 0
tun1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 1E:EF:79:F2:D9:67
           inet addr:1.2.3.4  Bcast:1.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
           RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

tun1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 1E:EF:79:F2:D9:67

First you see the ip, then you don't...

I traced it back to this commit:

$ git-bisect bad
05f54c13cd0c33694eec39a265475c5d6cf223cf is first bad commit
commit 05f54c13cd0c33694eec39a265475c5d6cf223cf

     Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".


If I take 2.6.30 and revert that commit, the problem goes away.

Eric
