Ihar Hrachyshka | is TIME_WAIT 49d ticking bomb solved in latest macos or is it still a thing? I just hit it on my mac mini and i wonder if I will have to implement some kind of periodic force restart ... | 17:54:31 |
Ihar Hrachyshka | * is TCP TIME_WAIT 49d ticking bomb solved in latest macos or is it still a thing? I just hit it on my mac mini and i wonder if I will have to implement some kind of periodic force restart ... | 17:54:47 |
samasaur | i can't seem to reproduce it on a mac running 15.7.3 that's been up for 67d | 17:59:27 |
Ihar Hrachyshka | mine is on 26.x | 17:59:42 |
samasaur | hmm | 18:00:04 |
samasaur | (also assuming u mean https://photon.codes/blog/we-found-a-ticking-time-bomb-in-macos-tcp-networking ?) | 18:00:19 |
Ihar Hrachyshka | yes | 18:00:51 |
samasaur | i am surprised that i don't experience this bug on this mac but i very clearly have no connections in TIME_WAIT state | 18:01:40 |
samasaur | which actually i should have some, shouldn't I? | 18:02:23 |
Ihar Hrachyshka | yeah mine was full of these and so when my laptop was trying to use that mac mini as a remote builder, I was getting errors saying that all my substituters are disabled. in UI, if I tried to update macos, it said it couldn't check for new updates. etc. but - interestingly - the laptop COULD ssh into the mac mini, I guess the initiator is an important bit. | 18:03:18 |
Ihar Hrachyshka | (god I love the quality of this system. rock solid OS.) | 18:03:31 |
samasaur | yeah i'm ssh'd into this machine from my laptop, but i'm also doing the reproducer in that article and it appears to be working fine... | 18:04:04 |
samasaur | ah okay got some in TIME_WAIT. unsure why the reproducer didn't do anything but curling random sites did | 18:05:10 |
samasaur | but they still drop to 0. i guess it's fixed in 15.7.3 ? | 18:05:27 |
Ihar Hrachyshka | my machine was at 52d. I guess I haven't built anything in 3d. :) | 18:05:45 |
samasaur | what 26.x are you on specifically? | 18:06:12 |
samasaur | bc 15.7.3 is from back in december... | 18:06:32 |
