Any idea what can cause this? The system was working fine earlier, so it is compiled with netlink support, etc.
Last thing someone did was to add 258 mac-vlans on top of an ethernet port. Removing macvlan module did not improve things. 'ifconfig -a' works fine. This is on a 4.0.4 (+ local hacks) kernel, nothing overly weird in dmesg, and no new dmesg info when this fails to work: strace ip addr show ... socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW|SOCK_CLOEXEC, NETLINK_ROUTE) = 3 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, [32768], 4) = 0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, [1048576], 4) = 0 bind(3, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, 12) = 0 getsockname(3, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=16631, groups=00000000}, [12]) = 0 sendto(3, "(\0\0\0\22\0\1\3%m\251U\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 40, 0, NULL, 0) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused) dup(2) = 4 fcntl(4, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) brk(0) = 0x1679000 brk(0x169a000) = 0x169a000 brk(0) = 0x169a000 fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 3), ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fb40d3c9000 write(4, "Cannot send dump request: Connec"..., 45Cannot send dump request: Connection refused ) = 45 close(4) = 0 munmap(0x7fb40d3c9000, 4096) = 0 exit_group(1) = ? +++ exited with 1 +++ A reboot 'fixed' things, and we have not been able to reproduce the problem.
