2013-05-06 16:27:05 Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre dnsmasq (Ubuntu Precise): status In Progress Fix Released
2013-05-06 20:44:47 Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre description NetworkManager stops and starts dnsmasq very frequently (every few minutes). During the brief window that dnsmasq is restarting, hostname resolution doesn't work. dnsmasq is getting restarted frequently enough that I see brief hostname resolution errors in Chrome several times a day during normal web browsing. This is on Precise with network-manager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4 and dnsmasq-base 2.59-4. The frequent restarts seem to be triggered by IPv6 route advertisements on my network. (See log snippet below.) When NetworkManager gets a route advertisement, it reconfigures everything. In the case of dnsmasq, this means stopping dnsmasq, writing a new config file, and starting dnsmasq. NetworkManager should restart dnsmasq only if it its configuration changes. I'm attaching a snippet from /var/log/daemon.log on my system that demonstrates a restart. This is with debug logging configured in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf. [Impact] This issue affects all users of NetworkManager in a dual stack (IPv4 w/ IPv6 on the same network) environment. When any router advertisement is received, NetworkManager restarts dnsmasq in order to update the DNS configuration it uses. This change modifies the method of update of dnsmasq to use DBus methods instead of writing a configuration file; which avoids having to restart the daemon to re-read the configuration. kill -USR1 <dnsmasq pid> can be used to output to syslog the current DNS servers used by dnsmasq. [Test Case] 1) Run NetworkManager in an dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 environment. 2) Verify that dnsmasq does not get restarted when a router advertisement is received. [Regression Potential] This change affects the underlying daemon used by NetworkManager to help with DNS resolution on the system. This daemon is updated via DBus. Since the method of update is changed; this may affect the resulting effective configuration of dnsmasq and break DNS resolution in case of a regression. ---- NetworkManager stops and starts dnsmasq very frequently (every few minutes).
