           Summary: /proc/net/route missing info for 127.0.0.1/8
    Kernel Version: kernel-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: shemminger@osdl.org
         Submitter: alex@milivojevic.org


Distribution: CentOS 4 (RHEL4)
Hardware Environment: i686
Problem Description:
cat /proc/net/route is missing information for 127.0.0.1/8 network (lo
interface).  On 2.4 kernels, this info was present (just checked on an old RH7.3
machine).  It seems to be missing on 2.6 kernels.  Bug?  Feature?  Omission?

2.4.30 doesn't show it:

# route -n
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
172.16.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0

And I'd be surprised if it did, it doesn't include other routes
from the local table.

Regards
Patrick

It shows up on our 2.4.18 system, probably it got lost in the fib/seq_printf
conversion.

2.4.18 looks similar to 2.4.30 in fib_get_procinfo(), fib_magic() and
other functions involved. I believe its simply a change of how userspace
sets up the routes:

# route -n

172.16.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         172.16.0.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

# route add -net 127.0.0.0/8 lo
# route -n

172.16.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         172.16.0.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

"route" seems to add all routes to the main table. My debian system
relies on the kernel setting up loopback correctly, so it doesn't add
a route itself.

Patrick

Your distribution, scripts, whatever doesn't use the local table
for the loopback route. This gets to be a problem once you add
fib rules and rely on the fact that local routes should have top
priority.

Yes, that's the main routing table. This is a userspace issue.
