Public bug reported: I'm seeing exactly what this gist describes: https://gist.github.com/raggi/1f8d0b9f45c5b62e7131b03e6e2ffe68
Summary: 1. Configure a machine with a DHCPv4 lease on a network with a DHCPv4 server. 2. Place machine under unusual load sufficient to cause a timeout on netlink requests. 3. Observe the interface failing with the following logs: systemd-networkd[139370]: eth0: Could not set DHCPv4 address: Connection timed out systemd-networkd[139370]: eth0: Failed The error seems to come from here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/v245.4/src/network/networkd-dhcp4.c#L781 Expected behavior The DHCPv4 client should retry the lease refresh when the issue is a timeout, eventually succeeding in these scenarios. Actual behavior Permanent loss of connectivity on the affected interface.
