You should know that comment #37 and comment #40 were not made by Drepper but
someone impersonating him, check the mail addresses by hovering over the name
there. That said, it would certainly be better if everyone were polite to each
other and merely say things like "Sorry I don't have time to explain this right
now, can you please wait and I'll do it when I can" which would not have incited
all the negativity in the comments on this bug. Maybe a hint or two would also
have sufficed to direct the person who wants to know the reason for the breakage
to find it out for himself... Anyway, that should all be water under the bridge now.

2008-07-08 19:21

Changing bug status to VERIFIED, notes make it clear Dev team are "assholes" &
no evidence that status of Dev team has been updated to remedy this.

Suggested bug fix: Devs should attempt not to be "assholes"

Petr,
To be fair, you set this off by repeatedly reopening this issue like a naughty brat.

Anyways, you guys may want to edit the CheckCanChangeField function in
process_bug.cgi and add something like:

if ($bugid eq 4980) { return 0; }

Can all the random people finally stop spamming this bug with irrelevant stuff,
pretty please? Ulrich implied in comment 18 that this the current code does not
do this anymore; so please don't reopen the bug unless *you* verified that this
issue still exists in *current* code. Thank you.

So, if it has been "discussed to death" (or was that a troll?) could we get an
explanation for what the problem with the original behaviour was?

The only thing I can think of is if the hosts file had the ::1 entry before the
127. one, it could cause delays? Is that it?

Yes, but not in glibc. Please file the bug with the affected applications.

If these are fixed, the issue will disappear all by itself. Thus, your time is
better invested spotting the affected applications and fixing them.

Now pass along please, there's nothing to see here.

Created an attachment (id=2816)
 --> (http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=2816&action=view)
test case for IN6_IS_ADDR_V4COMPAT

This does not appear to violate any RFCs.

Howard Chu claims that this behavior violates RFC 2553.  First of all,
"IPv4-compatible addresses" have been deprecated by RFC 4291, section 2.5.5.1. 
Even if it had not been, this is an incorrect assumption.  "IPv4-compatible
addresses" would have implied that you could send an IPv6 packet over the wire
addressed to, say ::209.132.176.174, and a router would then encapsulate it in
an IPv4 packet to 209.132.176.174.  This has been superceded by the 6to4
dynamic tunneling scheme, which instead gives each IPv4 address a /48 in
IPv6-space.  But I digress.

What RFC 2553 means by 'IPv6 hex addresses "::" and "::1" MUST NOT be treated
as IPv4-compatible addresses' is that a router may not encapsulate ::1 in an
IPv4 packet to 0.0.0.1.  This behavior does not happen, because a host will
drop packets to ::1 if it did not come through the "lo" loopback interface. 
Even if this were to happen, it would be beyond the scope of libc; it would be
a kernel IP stack issue instead.

As for the macro behavior quoted from RFC 2553, I wrote some test code (see
attachment), and I get:
IN6_IS_ADDR_V4COMPAT( ::1 ) = false
IN6_IS_ADDR_V4COMPAT( :: ) = false

There is nothing in the RFCs that specifies how /etc/hosts should behave, since
that is not something that belongs in a protocol specification.  If glibc
decides to have "::1 localhost" implicitly act as if you had also typed
"127.0.0.1 localhost", then so be it.  None of the function behavior that I
have tested violates what is described in the RFCs.

That is not to say that I don't find this behavior a bit odd.  I would love to
hear from Ulrich what problem this functionality was intended to fix, but I
don't believe that this is in any way a violation of spec.  It's just a bit
different from the way soe people might interpret it.

phelix, this has nothing whatsoever to do with 6to4 tunneling.	6to4 tunneling
describes embedding IPv6 packets within IPv4 packets.  In Linux, that is
handled completely by the kernel, and all applications, including libc, know is
that they are opening an IPv6 socket.  The RFC that you quote is saying that an
IPv6 packet within an IPv4 packet sent to, for example, 127.0.0.1 is invalid.

For the record, I tested this against glibc 2.7 on Ubuntu hardy.

Guys,
Wait a minute. It is quite unfair to jump into a conversation like this and take
sides without having the whole picture.

Ulrich Drepper wrote several times that there's an explanation and it would
require work to give it to us.
Sometimes, programmers can be a bit gruff. Doesn't make them wrong :)

This bug report's new-found fame is quite unfortunate but it looks like if
Ulrich now takes a few minutes to educate us (and it looks like he will have to
if he wishes to keep his sanity!), the whole situation can be easily defused.

FYI: A) This bug is has made it to reddit, your famous! and B) Everyone's gonna
think Ulrich Drepper is an arse who refuses to actually explain why he broke
something. Coming at this completely from outside with no knowledge of what is
going on, it seems obvious ulrich has an attitude problem. As to why, I can only
suppose that faced with the possibility that he made a mistake, he has chosen to
defend to the end of time rather than accept and fix it.

Anyways, best of luck resolving this.

So is this a good representation of the GNU project's style of
development, quality control, etc? I don't know if this has good
PR effects for you.

To an outsider, this looks like:

- I bind to localhost, AF_INET6. Someone tries to contact me via
  a symbolic hostname "localhost" and fails because AF_INET is tried
  first. (What if both are bound by DIFFERENT programmes?)
- I ask GNU libc for the contents of /etc/hosts, and it lies to me
- This breaks an RFC, deliberately
- without explanation
- the author of the breakage admits "it's fixed in the current
  development version" yet claims it's no bug (nōn sequitur!)

Nice style, too: break something, say "we fix it by rewriting the code
soon anyway". Why did you then break it in a released(!) version in the
first place? Does GNU libc not care about preserving compatibility at all?

Dammit, stop opening the bug.  It is obvious that you know *NOTHING* about the
issue at hand.  Otherwise you would have noticed that this code has been
entirely rewritten in the current code.  It uses a very different implementation
which allows to handle this situation differently.

> Stop reopening the bug.  If you want explanations pay somebody.

I don't need an explanation at this point, your position here clearly goes
against established standards (RFC2553). There is no valid justification that
you could give. At this point you just have to commit the fixes that have been
provided for you.

getaddrinfo fix for 2.6.1/2.7

>Of course it gains something, otherwise it would not have been added.	And
>programs which don't handle multiple addresses are simply broken and must be
>fixed anyway.	Stop defending broken code.

Seems you haven't cheked the code lately. I'll give you real life example
explaining why the mistake of thinking that all hostnames that resolve to ::1
also resolve to 127.0.0.1 is causing big problems to users.

I have ldap hosts defined as:
	localldap.example.org ldap1.example.org ldap2.example.org
As I'm using TLS I must use hostname instead of ip-number.
File /etc/hosts contains following
	::1		localhost localldap.example.org
	127.0.0.1	localhost
As ldap services contain important data it is protected by internal 
firewall. The firewall accepts connection to ldap port from  ldap-master 
and ::1. The reason for using localhost with ldap is that ldap is 
started as early as possible in boot to provide user information. It is 
started before any network other then localhost.

Now as glibc-implementation of getaddrinfo() was changed the first 
connection is done to 127.0.0.1. Firewall blocks this connection and 
after timeout of 15 seconds the connection is tried to ::1. At that 
time it succeeds.

As you can see the program definately can support multiple addresses 
form getaddrinfo() and can hardly be considered buggy.

As OSS camp often says: "talk is cheep, show the code". I have added a fix that
I have verified to work under 2.6.1. The code in question is identical in 2.7.

If I understand well, and since firefox 3 gave me trouble with this, I reckon
that the fix should go in firefox 3:
When using the glibc resolver for a name resolution, firefox has to parse all
the entries returned and look explicitely for the entries with the address
family it wants to use (and being careful of IPv6 mapped IPv4 addresses!).

> Stop reopening bugs.  Search the web if you want an explanation, I don't have

I've found no discussion of this change on any of the glibc mailing list
archives, after searching through September-November 2006 on libc-announce,
libc-hacker, libc-alpha, glibc-cvs, or glibc-bugs. I think it's fair to say that
if you don't want people to keep asking stupid questions, a little more
documentation of your rationale will help.

The CVS log entry is useful, at least:

Support IPv6-style addresses for IPv4 queries if they
can be mapped.

But your implementation violates RFC2553: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2553.txt
Page 25:

      Also note that the
   IPv6 hex addresses "::" and "::1" MUST NOT be treated as IPv4-
   compatible addresses, ...

   Also for the macro in section 6.7 IN6_IS_ADDR_V4COMPAT MUST return
   false for "::" and "::1".

I.e., the RFC specifically forbids the mapping of the IPV6 loopback address to
IPv4. As far as I can see, the current glibc behavior here is a bug.

The bug still exists. getaddrinfo() returns fabricated records for AF_INET

I'm not trying to defend broken code and application fix makes sense if this
change brings benefits. However, even if I trust your judgement, you didn't
explain the gain of the change in the changelog entry, commit message, in-code
