Public bug reported: The following upstream patches are needed in order to avoid failures when binding a netlink socket:
1f734a8f892a lib/socket: randomize the generated local port http://git.infradead.org/users/tgr/libnl.git/commitdiff/1f734a8f892a 4dd5fdd0af2c lib/socket: retry generate local port in nl_connect on ADDRINUSE http://git.infradead.org/users/tgr/libnl.git/commitdiff/4dd5fdd0af2c 027157898708 lib/socket: don't fail if no more local ports can be assigned in nl_socket_alloc http://git.infradead.org/users/tgr/libnl.git/commitdiff/027157898708 0fd510b3673f lib/socket: use proper typed constant UINT32_MAX for uint32_t typed port http://git.infradead.org/users/tgr/libnl.git/commitdiff/0fd510b3673f Without these patches, an application which opens and closes regularly netlink sockets can easily fails to bind them. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1511735 Title: libnl: fail to bind() netlink sockets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1511735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
