Subject: Bug#306261: pppd does not properly close /dev/ppp on persist
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When using the kernel PPPoE driver, pppd never
|
||
|
|
closes /dev/ppp when the link has come down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It opens superfluous fds to the device each time it re-opens the
|
||
|
|
connection, with the unclosed ones falsely reported always ready for
|
||
|
|
data by select().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This makes pppd eat up 100% CPU time after the first persist because of
|
||
|
|
the always instantly returning select() on the unclosed fds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The problem also occurs with the upstream version, but does not occur
|
||
|
|
when a pty/tty device is used for the ppp connection.
