From: "vinay at linux dot vnet dot ibm dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org> To: glibc-bugs@sources.redhat.com Subject: [Bug libc/6589] New: getifaddrs returns entries with invalid ifa_name Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2008 08:54:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <20080604085349.6589.vinay@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw) On a system with ipv6 interfaces of Infiniband devices, getifaddrs returns interface names for the ib entries as junk. The reason for this is that the sockaddr_ll structure fails to accommodate 20 byte IB device addresses. By extending the sll_addr field (currently 8 bytes) to 24 bytes, the issue is solved. -- Summary: getifaddrs returns entries with invalid ifa_name Product: glibc Version: unspecified Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: libc AssignedTo: drepper at redhat dot com ReportedBy: vinay at linux dot vnet dot ibm dot com CC: glibc-bugs at sources dot redhat dot com http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6589 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
