hnyman:

odhcpd currently spams system log as it causes so many dnsmasq config reloads.

This log spam problem has been present in Openwrt/LEDE master since late 2017, when odhcpd (and/or netifd?) were changed so that the odhcpd more frequently signals dnsmasq to reload its hosts config via /usr/sbin/odhcpd-update script.

I have native ipv6 and most of my devices are ipv6 aware, so the problem is quite visible. There has been also some forum discussion about the problem, e.g. in the david wrt1900ac build thread, so others have noticed the problem, too.

As the RA lifetimes and DHCPv6 lifetimes are rather short by default, this reloading seems to happen every few minutes when a device joins or renews its address.

System log gets spammed with dnsmasq reload log lines whenever odhcpd writes the /tmp/hosts/odhcpd file and then triggers dnsmasq reload via /usr/sbin/odhcpd-update.

I added a logger statement "**** ODHCPD event ****" to /usr/sbin/odhcpd-update and that pretty clearly indicates the additional problem that odhcpd can cause multiple reloads inside 1-2 seconds for a single device joining and getting an address.

I am not sure what is the best approach:

  • Reduce dnsmasq reload log verbosity. Sounds more like a quick and dirty patch than an actual fix.
  • Reduce dnsmasq reloads via longer RA/DHCPv6 address lifetimes.
  • Reduce dnsmasq reloads via combining several events before triggering /usr/sbin/odhcpd-update. Currently a single device can cause multiple reloads inside a few seconds. Maybe there could be a "dirty flag" that is then evaluated once per minute and only then causes a /usr/sbin/odhcpd-update call.
  • Write /tmp/hosts/odhcpd less frequently. Evaluate the need to actually write it, or at least evaluate the need to trigger a dnsmasq reload. Currently the file gets the plain address allocations but also a # commented-out line with timestamp etc. debug info. AFAIK that is not really utilised by dnsmasq, so that is just for debug purposes. I general, if a device just renews its existing dhcpv6 address, there should be no need to reload dnsmasq because of /tmp/hosts/odhcpd (as the actual information does not change, although the debug timestamp changes)

Example of /tmp/hosts/odhcpd

odhcpd is not the only culprit for dnsmasq reloads, but it is very visible at least in my use case

supersebbo:

I can confirm this bug.

Some effort needs to be put into this to determine whether this might be exploitable in terms of DoS due to the ability to programmatically remotely trigger dnsmasq reloads with DHCPv6 requests (which are routinely not filtered).

If it is normal and benign behaviour, then OpenWRT should be updated to suppress the logging of this action with the UCI 'quietdhcp' flag.

Having multiple IPv6 clients on a network serviced by odhcp creates so much log chatter that tracing real problems is very difficult.

This still stands with 23.05.2. However output is much less on my end:

I've found out, on my network this is related to an old printer not accepting DHCPv6.
The device keeps requesting DHCPv6 and as a result the log keeps flooding.

Disabling IPv6 on the printer fixes the issue.
