From b20e2d54789c6acbf6bd0efdbec2cf5fa4d90ef1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2017 00:00:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tun: fix premature POLLOUT notification on tun devices MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit aszlig observed failing ssh tunnels (-w) during initialization since commit cc9da6cc4f56e0 ("ipv6: addrconf: use stable address generator for ARPHRD_NONE"). We already had reports that the mentioned commit breaks Juniper VPN connections. I can't clearly say that the Juniper VPN client has the same problem, but it is worth a try to hint to this patch. Because of the early generation of link local addresses, the kernel now can start asking for routers on the local subnet much earlier than usual. Those router solicitation packets arrive inside the ssh channels and should be transmitted to the tun fd before the configuration scripts might have upped the interface and made it ready for transmission. ssh polls on the interface and receives back a POLL_OUT. It tries to send the earily router solicitation packet to the tun interface. Unfortunately it hasn't been up'ed yet by config scripts, thus failing with -EIO. ssh doesn't retry again and considers the tun interface broken forever.
