ic_nameservers, which stores the list of name servers discovered by ipconfig, is initialised (i.e. has all of its elements set to NONE, or 0xffffffff) by ic_nameservers_predef() in the following scenarios: - before the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" kernel command line parameters are parsed (in ip_auto_config_setup()); - before autoconfiguring via DHCP or BOOTP (in ic_bootp_init()), in order to clear any values that may have been set after parsing "ip=" or "nfsaddrs=" and are no longer needed. This means that ic_nameservers_predef() is not called when neither "ip=" nor "nfsaddrs=" is specified on the kernel command line. In this scenario, every element in ic_nameservers remains set to 0x00000000, which is indistinguishable from ANY and causes pnp_seq_show() to write the following (bogus) information to /proc/net/pnp: #MANUAL nameserver 0.0.0.0 nameserver 0.0.0.0 nameserver 0.0.0.0 This is potentially problematic for systems that blindly link /etc/resolv.conf to /proc/net/pnp. Ensure that ic_nameservers is also initialised when neither "ip=" nor "nfsaddrs=" are specified by calling ic_nameservers_predef() in ip_auto_config(), but only when ip_auto_config_setup() was not called earlier. This causes the following to be written to /proc/net/pnp, and is consistent with what gets written when ipconfig is configured manually but no name servers are specified on the kernel command line: #MANUAL Signed-off-by: Chris Novakovic <chris@chrisn.me.uk> --- net/ipv4/ipconfig.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+)
