I have a route that the kernel knows about, but won't display via the general RTM_GETROUTE call, but will display if I query for that particular route: # ip -4 route show | grep 108.61.171.xThe use of 'x' here is going to make things confusing. I assume you are using a value of 0 here, or is this a route to a specific IP address that you have. If not you should be using a 0 for all bits that would be outside of your subnet mask.
This is a route to a particular IP address:
# ip route show | grep 108.61.171.247
# ip route get 108.61.171.247
108.61.171.247 dev SRVID630287
cache
# ip route get 108.61.171.x 108.61.171.x dev MYIF cacheThe 'x' being the actual value here should work as this will perform a lookup as I recall.# cat /proc/net/route | grep 108.61.171.xThe IPs are in network order and as just hex so this won't work.# cat /proc/net/route | grep -i 6c3dacThe byte ordering you are using is backwards here from what I can tell. So it should be ac3d6c you are checking for, not the other way around. So for example if I was using 192.168.1.x I would want to look for 01A8C0.
Oops. This also doesn't show the route, which it should: # cat /proc/net/route | grep SRVID630287 #

It looks like this just might be a display issue.This is on a machine running 4.1.3, but I have seen it on earlier versions in the past. I don't have great reproduction steps here, I've seen this 4-5 times in the past few months (on different hardware). So far, I haven't really found any way of fixing it (deleting and readding the route has no effect). I thought at first this might be related to e55ffaf457bcc8ec4e9d9f56f955971f834d65b3, but as far as I can tell that only relates to /proc/net/route. Any suggestions on further troubleshooting here? I'm all out of ideas (and since I can't easily reproduce it yet, I can't reboot to a newer kernel to see if it goes away)How many routes do you have on your system? I'm just wondering if it might be possible that the route could be at a boundary for the dump call and if it might be possibly losing the data there. Although I would expect
ip -4 route show | wc -l shows 67
Yes, so we noticed this issue because BIRD stopped picking up the route. BIRD's trying to grab these via netlink: https://github.com/BIRD/bird/blob/master/sysdep/linux/netlink.c#L1045 , so I don't believe this is just an issue with grep missing the route. I also wrote a simple python script with pyroute2, which also missed the route.Also have you tried double checking to verify that grep isn't somehow missing the line?
I was doing some testing to see if I could add routes for nearby IPs, and ended up somehow correcting the issue:
# ip route show | grep SRVID630287 # ip route add 108.61.171.200/32 dev SRVID630287 # ip route show | grep SRVID630287 108.61.171.200 dev SRVID630287 scope link 108.61.171.247 dev SRVID630287 scope link # ip route del 108.61.171.200/32 dev SRVID630287 # ip route show | grep SRVID630287 108.61.171.247 dev SRVID630287 scope link Does that make any sense? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
