stable/9 -> stable/10 upgrade: No longer able to use loopback alias addresses as source addresses
Hi folks, I've recently upgraded one of my test machines from stable/9 to stable/10 and have found that I'm no longer able to use loopback alias addresses as source addresses. When attempting to do so, I'm receiving "Can't assign requested address" errors. I've also confirmed this in an up-to-date HEAD VM. ?[~]> ifconfig lo0 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=600003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet 127.0.1.1 netmask 0xffffffff inet 127.0.1.2 netmask 0xffffffff inet 127.0.1.3 netmask 0xffffffff inet 127.0.1.4 netmask 0xffffffff inet 127.0.1.5 netmask 0xffffffff inet 127.0.1.6 netmask 0xffffffff inet 127.0.1.7 netmask 0xffffffff inet 127.0.1.8 netmask 0xffffffff nd6 options=23<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> ?[~]> netstat -rn -f inet | grep lo0 88.198.54.184 link#1 UHS 0 0 lo0 127.0.0.1 link#2 UH 0 172 lo0 127.0.1.1 link#2 UH 0 0 lo0 127.0.1.2 link#2 UH 0 0 lo0 127.0.1.3 link#2 UH 0 0 lo0 127.0.1.4 link#2 UH 0 0 lo0 127.0.1.5 link#2 UH 0 0 lo0 127.0.1.6 link#2 UH 0 0 lo0 127.0.1.7 link#2 UH 0 0 lo0 127.0.1.8 link#2 UH 0 0 lo0 From a ktrace of telnet -4 -s 127.0.1.2 google.co.uk 80 : 2127 telnet CALL socket(PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP) 2127 telnet RET socket 3 2127 telnet CALL getuid 2127 telnet RET getuid 0 2127 telnet CALL setuid(0) 2127 telnet RET setuid 0 2127 telnet CALL setsockopt(0x3,0,0x3,0x61e790,0x4) 2127 telnet RET setsockopt 0 2127 telnet CALL bind(0x3,0x8034160f0,0x10) 2127 telnet STRU struct sockaddr { AF_INET, 127.0.1.2:0 } 2127 telnet RET bind 0 2127 telnet CALL connect(0x3,0x8034161f0,0x10) 2127 telnet STRU struct sockaddr { AF_INET, 173.194.112.88:80 } 2127 telnet RET connect -1 errno 49 Can't assign requested address With pretty much an identical lo0 setup on stable/8 and stable/9, this works correctly. Is this change of behaviour by design (and if so, how is one able to use loopback jails and have them be able to contact the outside world short of using some kind of proxy), or is this a bug?
