Title: Don't report persistentconns as activeconns Status in “ipvsadm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ipvsadm” source package in Lucid: Fix Released Status in “ipvsadm” package in Debian: New Bug description: Binary package hint: ipvsadm Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 ipvsadm: Installed: 1:1.25.clean-1 Candidate: 1:1.25.clean-1 Version table: *** 1:1.25.clean-1 0 500 http://apt-mirror1.us.archive.org/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status there is "what appears to be a typo in the netlink client code whereby the activeconns is read as activeconns and then overwritten by persistentconns. The result is that the active connection count reported by ipvsadm -L is wrong if the code is compiled to use the netlink interface." (description taken from http://archive.linuxvirtualserver.org/html/lvs- devel/2010-02/msg00006.html) the attached patch is taken from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=573921 (the same patch as from the lvs-devel link but with unmangled whitespace) == SRU REPORT == === IMPACT === This patch is extremely straight forward and only affects the reporting code, so risk of crash/security problems are low. If somebody has built a workaround for the lack of active connection reporting, or if they have been assuming that the number was lower/0, the update reporting accurate numbers may cause some confusion, but that should be easy to correlate with the system updates. === DEV FIX === The code was patched and uploaded to natty in version 1:1.25.clean- 1ubuntu1 === PATCH === See merge proposal. === TEST CASE: === From redhat bug report: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an IPVS virtual service, something along these lines: ipvsadm -A -t this.host.ip:80 ipvsadm -a -t this.host.ip:80 -r other.host.ip:80 -m (and set up the HTTP server on other.host.ip). 2. from different host run "telnet this.host.ip 80" 3. run /sbin/ipvsadm -L Actual results: The "ActiveConn" column is zero even though there is an open connection. Expected results: The "ActiveConn" column should be greater than zero. === REGRESSION POTENTIAL === Very low.
