If the cache size is very large, the malloc() call will overflow
on 32 bit platforms and dnsmasq will crash. Limit to an order of
magnitude less.
Thanks to Lili Xu for spotting this.
- aligned the handling of UBus connections with the DBus code as it
makes it a bit easier to comprehend;
- added logging to the various UBus calls to aid debugging from an
enduser point of view, but be careful to not flood the logs;
- show the (lack of) support for UBus in the configuration string.
msg_controllen should be set using CMSG_SPACE() to account for padding.
RFC3542 provides more details:
While sending an application may or may not include padding at the end
of last ancillary data in msg_controllen and implementations must
accept both as valid.
At least OpenBSD rejects control messages if msg_controllen doesn't
account for padding, so use CMSG_SPACE() for maximal portability. This
is consistent with the example provided in the Linux cmsg(3) manpage.
Dear Simon,
the attached patch removes three redundant prototypes from dnsmasq.h. There is no functional change.
Best regards,
Dominik

We detected a performance issue on a dnsmasq running many dhcp sessions
(more than 10 000). At the end of the day, the server was only releasing
old DHCP leases but was consuming a lot of CPU.
It looks like curent dhcp pruning:
1) it's pruning old sessions (iterate on all current leases). It's
important to note that it's only pruning session expired since more
than one second
2) it's looking for next lease to expire (iterate on all current leases
again)
3) it launchs an alarm to catch next expiration found in step 2). This
value can be zero for leases just expired (but not pruned).
So, for a second, dnsmasq could fall in a "prune loop" by doing:
* Not pruning anything, since difftime() is not > 0
* Run alarm again with zero as argument
On a server with very large number of leases and releasing often
sessions, that can waste a very big CPU time.

There's no reason to stop reading the existing lease file
when dnsmasq is started and an invalid entry is found, it
can just be ignored. This was fallout from an Openstack
bug where the file was being written incorrectly with []
around IPv6 addresses.
It is possible for a config entry to have one address family specified by a
dhcp-host directive and the other added from /etc/hosts. This is especially
common on OpenWrt because it uses odhcpd for DHCPv6 and IPv6 leases are
imported into dnsmasq via a hosts file.
To handle this case there need to be separate *_HOSTS flags for IPv4 and IPv6.
Otherwise when the hosts file is reloaded it will clear the CONFIG_ADDR(6) flag
which was set by the dhcp-host directive.
This moves the class argument to cache-insert into an argument,
rather then overloading a union in the address argument. Note that
tha class is NOT stored in the cache other than for DS/DNSKEY entries,
so must always be C_IN except for these. The data-extraction code
ensures this as it only attempts to cache C_IN class records.
Avoid offering the same address after a recieving a DECLINE message
to stop an infinite protocol loop. This has long been done in
default address allocation mode: this adds similar behaviour
when allocaing addresses consecutively.
Hi Simon,
master has a build error when building without HAVE_DHCPv6
option.c: In function 'dhcp_context_free':
option.c:1042:15: error: 'struct dhcp_context' has no member named 'template_interface'
free(ctx->template_interface);
Sadly, need to put in a little conditional compilation ifdef'erey
Simplest patch in the world attached
Cheers,
