To rescue this bug from the noise in a subthread:If a hostname resolves to more than one address and the host currently configured itself for just IPv4, doing a bind() to some IPv6 address will fail. As a result an error is returned instead of continuing with the next item in 'runp'.Mär 20 09:35:52 macintyre-old libvirtd[4527]: 2018-03-20 08:35:52.521+0000: 4531: error : virNetSocketNewListenTCP:389 : Unable to bind to port: Cannot assign requested addressAfter further debugging: 27672 16:04:46.774906 socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 35 27672 16:04:46.775041 setsockopt(35, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 27672 16:04:46.775172 setsockopt(35, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY, [1], 4) = 0 27672 16:04:46.775302 bind(35, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(49152), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "2620:113:80c0:8000:10:161:8:197", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 EADDRNOTAVAIL (Cannot assign requested address) 27672 16:04:46.775455 gettid() = 27672 27672 16:04:46.775590 write(4, "2018-03-20 15:04:46.775+0000: 27672: error : virNetSocketNewListenTCP:389 : Unable to bind to port: Cannot assign requested address\n", 132) = 132 27672 16:04:46.775742 gettid() = 27672 27672 16:04:46.775875 write(4, "2018-03-20 15:04:46.775+0000: 27672: info : virObjectUnref:350 : OBJECT_UNREF: obj=0x7fa4bc003530\n", 98) = 98 27672 16:04:46.776026 gettid() = 27672 So for some reason libvirtd tries to bind to ipv6 even if the host does not have that ipv6 address at this point, only the link-local address. Not sure if there is a way to detect that within libvirt. Perhaps it should just move on with the runp list and try the next one?
The AI_ADDRCONFIG flag to getaddrinfo should have taken care of filtering out IPv6 addresses if you only have the link-local one (fe80::), but 2620:: looks like a legitimate unicast address. Checking for EADDRNOTAVAIL here is intentional to catch configuration errors (i.e. a typo in a literal listen address or misconfigured DNS). Why does your hostname resolve to an unavailable address?
