Bug #3965

dhcp6c started before bridge configured at boot, preventing interface tracking

Description

Setup:
- WAN interface configured for DHCPv6 prefix discovery
- LAN interface configured for IPv6, tracking interface WAN

This works, if the LAN interface is a regular network interface.

However, if LAN is a bridge interface, dhcp6c bails out during boot with the following messages:
dhcp6c17652: failed to open /usr/local/etc/dhcp6cctlkey: No such file or directory
dhcp6c17652: failed initialize control message authentication
dhcp6c17652: skip opening control port
dhcp6c17652: /var/etc/dhcp6c_wan.conf:16 invalid interface (bridge0): Device not configured
dhcp6c17652: failed to parse configuration file

If the lease is renewed manually after boot, IPv6 starts working, since the bridge0 interface exists at this point.

Setting up one of the network interfaces participating in the bridge for tracking seems to work too, but I'd prefer having it on the bridge itself.

I think this only affects 2.2 and not earlier releases, but I'm not 100% sure.

For reference. I'm seeing the same issues without having a bridge - but just multiple tracked VLAN interfaces. It seems random which interface it complains about at boot:

dhcp6c_wan.conf:
interface igb1.102 {
send ia-na 0; # request stateful address
send ia-pd 0; # request prefix delegation
request domain-name-servers;
request domain-name;
script "/var/etc/dhcp6c_wan_dhcp6withoutra_script.sh"; # we'd like nameservers and RTSOLD to do all the work
};
id-assoc na 0 { };
id-assoc pd 0 {
prefix-interface igb0 {
sla-id 1;
sla-len 8;
};
prefix-interface igb0.10 {
sla-id 2;
sla-len 8;
};
prefix-interface igb0.60 {
sla-id 4;
sla-len 8;
};
prefix-interface igb0.20 {
sla-id 32;
sla-len 8;
};
prefix-interface igb0.50 {
sla-id 80;
sla-len 8;
};
};

After reboot:
Nov 25 09:14:23 router dhcp6c18939: failed to open /usr/local/etc/dhcp6cctlkey: No such file or directory
Nov 25 09:14:23 router dhcp6c18939: failed initialize control message authentication
Nov 25 09:14:23 router dhcp6c18939: skip opening control port
Nov 25 09:14:23 router dhcp6c18939: /var/etc/dhcp6c_wan.conf:21 invalid interface (igb0.60): Device not configured
Nov 25 09:14:23 router dhcp6c18939: failed to parse configuration file

After another reboot:
Nov 25 09:39:54 router dhcp6c18497: failed to open /usr/local/etc/dhcp6cctlkey: No such file or directory
Nov 25 09:39:54 router dhcp6c18497: failed initialize control message authentication
Nov 25 09:39:54 router dhcp6c18497: skip opening control port
Nov 25 09:39:54 router dhcp6c18497: /var/etc/dhcp6c_wan.conf:17 invalid interface (igb0.10): Device not configured
Nov 25 09:39:54 router dhcp6c18497: failed to parse configuration file

And dhcp6c will remain crashed until I do a save/apply on WAN, then everything will come up. So I also suspect a race condition where dhcp6c is started before all interfaces are configured.

try to update to the latest snapshot,
works as expected on 2.5.0.a.20201126.1850 with bridge or vlan track interfaces (vtnet)

Dunno if it makes a difference, but my WAN is also a VLAN on igb1.102 and there are 5 interfaces tracking, 1 parent and 4 VLANs. I have no bridges.

as bridge track interface issue is resolved, please create a new redmine issue concerning VLAN track interfaces
and provide detailed configuration info of all your interfaces
