            Bug ID: 99671
           Summary: glibc deadlock in __check_pf() presumed due to missing
                    netlink response
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: shemminger@linux-foundation.org
          Reporter: dwmw2@infradead.org
        Regression: No

I keep seeing multithreaded processes deadlocked on glibc's __check_pf
function, with the culprit stuck like this:

#0  0x0000003841302edd in recvmsg () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81
#1  0x000000384131f8ee in __check_pf (pid=-52599, fd=20) at
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check_pf.c:166
#2  0x000000384131f8ee in __check_pf (seen_ipv4=seen_ipv4@entry=0x7f5b137fdc32,
seen_ipv6=seen_ipv6@entry=0x7f5b137fdc33, in6ai=in6ai@entry=0x7f5b137fdc40,
in6ailen=in6ailen@entry=0x7f5b137fdc48) at
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check_pf.c:324

I don't understand why the glibc code is waiting; even if netlink responses are
dropped, it should get ENOBUFS and bail out.

This started happening to me, sporadically, when I updated my Fedora 22 beta
installation to the 4.0 kernel. It seemed to go away when I reverted to 3.19,
and came back again when I went back to 4.0. Filed in Red Hat bugzilla as
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1209433 and reported upstream at 
https://www.marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=142849461211078&w=3 and
https://www.marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=142954024310299&w=3

Others seem to have seen it on earlier kernels though:
