** Description changed: - Hi, + [Impact] + Several users have complained of issues with bringing up networking in the initramfs, which causes automatic LUKS volume unlocking via a network server to fail. The original report for this bug is one example, others can be found in the upstream bug: + https://github.com/latchset/clevis/issues/145 - initramfs-clevis wait 1s for carrier to show up, this is not much and not working in most cases. - For me i have to up to 12 seconds for lan carrier. + The symptoms vary - see the commit message in [Fix] below for an + enumerated list - but the general root cause is that we currently fail + to wait for device enumeration to complete before trying to configure an + interface. - fix: - i changed /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/clevis - to 12s loop: + [Test Case] + Boot a system with a slow-to-enumerate network device and confirm that the system is able to use it to automatically decrypt a LUKS root device. - eth_check() { - for device in $(clevis_all_netbootable_devices); do - for i in {1..12}; do - ip link set dev $device up - sleep 1 - ETH_HAS_CARRIER=$(cat /sys/class/net/"$device"/carrier) - if [ "$ETH_HAS_CARRIER" = '1' ]; then - return 0 - fi - done - done - return 1 - } - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 - Package: clevis-initramfs 12-1ubuntu2 [modified: usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/clevis] - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-25.29-generic 5.4.30 - Uname: Linux 5.4.0-25-generic x86_64 - ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27 - Architecture: amd64 - CasperMD5CheckResult: skip - CurrentDesktop: KDE - Date: Mon Apr 20 18:55:44 2020 - InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-04-18 (2 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Beta amd64 (20200401) - PackageArchitecture: all - SourcePackage: clevis - UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + [Fix] + https://github.com/latchset/clevis/commit/f670383c276d6a61e165ff9e498e19271f8e168c + + [Regression Potential] + The biggest risk I see is if a user was somehow benefiting from some unknown side-effect of the existing behavior. The existing "eth_check()" code brings up each interface and checks for a carrier. The new code leaves it to configure_networking() to bring up the device when its actually time to configure it.
