ipconfig: Correctly initialise ic_nameservers
[ Upstream commit 300eec7c0a2495f771709c7642aa15f7cc148b83 ]
ic_nameservers, which stores the list of name servers discovered by
ipconfig, is initialised (i.e. has all of its elements set to NONE, or
0xffffffff) by ic_nameservers_predef() in the following scenarios:
- before the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" kernel command line parameters are
parsed (in ip_auto_config_setup());
- before autoconfiguring via DHCP or BOOTP (in ic_bootp_init()), in
order to clear any values that may have been set after parsing "ip="
or "nfsaddrs=" and are no longer needed.
This means that ic_nameservers_predef() is not called when neither "ip="
nor "nfsaddrs=" is specified on the kernel command line. In this
scenario, every element in ic_nameservers remains set to 0x00000000,
which is indistinguishable from ANY and causes pnp_seq_show() to write
the following (bogus) information to /proc/net/pnp:
#MANUAL
nameserver 0.0.0.0
nameserver 0.0.0.0
nameserver 0.0.0.0
This is potentially problematic for systems that blindly link
/etc/resolv.conf to /proc/net/pnp.
Ensure that ic_nameservers is also initialised when neither "ip=" nor
"nfsaddrs=" are specified by calling ic_nameservers_predef() in
ip_auto_config(), but only when ip_auto_config_setup() was not called
earlier. This causes the following to be written to /proc/net/pnp, and
is consistent with what gets written when ipconfig is configured
manually but no name servers are specified on the kernel command line:
#MANUAL
