I'm not able to bring an ethernet interface down and back up again
with this if avahi-autoipd is installed on my Ubuntu boxes. I've seen
it on three different computers with different NIC hardware.
I've worked out an easy way to reproduce it without
avahi-autoipd. Starting with eth0 up (address assigned by DHCP):
# ifdown eth0
< dhclient makes the normal noise about releasing the address >
# ip addr add 169.254.255.67/16 brd 169.254.255.255 label eth0:avahi scope link dev eth0
# ip addr del 169.154.255.67/16 brd 169.254.255.255 label eth0:avahi scope link dev eth0
# ifup eth0
SIOCSIFADDR: No buffer space available < -- first sign of trouble HERE
< dhclient copyright boilerplate >
Listening on LPF/eth0/<MAC addr>
Sending on LPF/eth0/<MAC addr>
Sending on Socket/fallback
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
DHCPOFFER from < DHCP server >
DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from < DHCP server >
SIOCSIFADDR: No buffer space available
SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCADDRTL No such process
bound to < IP address > -- renewal in XXXX seconds
#
At this point, the interface is up, but has no address assigned.
Manually assigning one with ifconfig fails:
# ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 172.16.0.1
SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFADDR: No buffer space available
#
... and a reboot is the only way I've been able to get the interface
to work again.
The last kernels I tried were 2.6.22-rc3 and *I think*
2.6.22-rc1-mm1, neither of which had this problem. I will test
2.6.22-rc4 and 2.6.22-rc3-mm1 later, but I'm out of time today.
I've attached my .config .
