dhcrelay stops working after certain time
0%
Description
dhcrelay service stops working after a few days runtime of the process.
I have one host connected to igb5.8 (opt1) which gets restarted pretty rare. If the dhcrelay service is up for more then about 48hours, dhcp discover messages get relayed to the dhcp server, the dhcp Server sends dhcp offers back, but theses offers never arrive at the client. The client keeps sending dhcp discover messages. If I do a simple restart of the dhcrelay service, the offers gets immediately to the client and the address assignment process finishes by a dhcp request- and acknowledge message. See attached log file from dhcp server.
I did another restart of the Server on 3rd August, about 24 hours after dhcrelay was started and everything worked finde. Today I had to restart the Service again.
my config:
<dhcrelay>
<enable></enable>
<interface>opt1</interface>
<server>172.16.xx.3,172.16.xx.4</server>
</dhcrelay>
proccess output:
/usr/local/sbin/dhcrelay -i igb5.8 -i igb0 172.16.xx.3 172.16.xx.4

Can you test this, at least temporarily, on a 2.5.0 snapshot? Changes were made for #9466 which might affect this behavior.
There is a patch on that ticket which would also apply to 2.4.4-p3, but it would be best to try it on 2.5.0 to know for certain.

Thank you for the quick response.
I can try out the Patch, but the issue is to minor to switch to a development release - sorry. If it helps, I can do some tests in a virtualized lab environment.
#9466 has multiple revisions associated.
Revision f427d68d
Revision ef0045d8
Can you tell me please which one of these applies to 2.4.4-p3? Code is pretty identical, as far as I see, but the line numbers are different.

f427d68dbca5ed9941b3bc01be1c4d81417c134f is the one for RELENG_2_4_4

Thanks, I'll try it out and report back in a few of days.

After more than 80 hours of service uptime for dhcrelay, I've restarted the Server and the address assignment process worked without any problems.

Looks good so far.

That's great! I think it's fairly safe to say that this can be closed out as a duplicate of #9466 (different symptoms of the same problem)
But if you do happen to notice the old behavior still occurs, this issue can be reopened.
Thanks for testing!

Just rebooted the Server after ~15 Days uptime without any issues. I would say the fix is fine for that matter. Case may be closed.
