Code change:
Hi, Since my upgrade to 1.18 version, I have errors in kube-proxy: I have ipv4/ipv6 dualstack enable. No problem with cluster and IPVS works despite errors. Do you have also this issue ? OS: RHEL7 Kubernetes version (use ):

Taking one of the outputs it gives me the following addresses? can you share more details about your environment, Is it possible that the CoreDNS pod has the address ? what are your cluster-cidr and service-cidr? Indeed that new net.Utils change looks suspicious , a quick grep in the repo gives me some suspects, maybe the service/ipallocator? It's important to mention there were similar issues with IPVS before, interpreting IPv4 addresses as IPv6, has some experience with this kind of issues, maybe he can see something:) /cc
A bit tricky to trace since libnetwork/ipvs is moving around at the moment. Problem seems to be in; The "family" must be wrong. It is called from;
Please do a and attach the output.
Hi, Some informations: cluster-cidr and service-cidr: fd00:10:245:0:0:0:0:0/64,10.245.0.0/16 fd00:10:96:0:0:0:0:0/112,10.96.0.0/12 ipvsadm output:
Ref:
The commit in the ref above should be in v1.18.0 which is the version used in this issue. So the commit does not fix the problem.
Maybe something wrong around here Before , it looks like this: Now it looks like this: However is not initializedit is zero :(.
I do not get these faults. Has the netlink API changed? What kernel version are you using?
d.AddressFamily is supposed to be set from the "NetlinkRouteAttr" slice; It should definitely not be hard-coded to ipv4.
Made a trying to reproduce this in my environment but didn't got this error. I may try this on some older kernel like from CentOS 7 Added exactly the same IPVS configuration here: And when running this 'gist/program' pointing to the IPVS from the DNS (fd00:10:96::a port 53 UDP) got the expected result: Maybe trying to run this also in some other scenarios could clarify if this is something related to Netlink API changed between Kernels, something with the used library, etc.
After some study, I find that this issue most likely is caused by the low linux kernel version. I have reproduced this problem on . Accroding to the code, netlink will try to get attribute, but I find the kernel just does not support it :( This is the defined in (kernel 3.10) No attribute is defined! But in new kernel version, the is defined like : Obviously, the kernel has some attributes (IPVSDESTATTRADDRFAMILY, IPVSDESTATTRSTATS64...). That is why kube-proxy works well on systems with a higher version of the kernel. So we can address this issue by upgrading our linux kernel. Not sure which kernel version is the minimum requirement, maybe we should document something about this.
Here is the defined in :
Good finding. So, we can conclude that this really is kernel version dependent. It is hard to know what to do about it. We must check the family. I would propose that we make it work for ipv4 with some fallback and put a requirement on kernel version for ipv6-only/dual-stack. But the decision is others to make. /cc

The symbol in the kernel tree The for service family seems very old. Since the service must have the same family as the real-servers perhaps it can be used for compatibility with old kernels?
The commit that adds the symbol; Seem to go into linux-3.18
I did not know the minimum required for the kernel version, I was using the stable and official version of RHEL7. My kernel version is: Currently the max version in the repository is: According to the documentation (), I should switch to RHEL8 if I want a recent kernel :-
There is no minimum kernel version requirement afaik. So I think this must be fixed for ipv4-only clusters IMO. However ipv6-only and dual-stack are in "alpha" so a requirement on kernel version might be ok, but I can't say myself. A complication is that the problem is not in k8s itself but in a 3rd party lib.
ipv6-only is beta since 1.18 :smile:

I opened a PR to fix this in moby/ipvs If someone w/ a cluster on the older kernel version can test it that would be great, otherwise I will setup a cluster to validate this some time this week.
Instead of bootstraping a whole cluster right now (pretty busy here) I can use the Gist I've mentioned to check in a CentOS 7.1 if it faces the problem before and after the patch. At least to have some more test right now
with a small test, it worked fine. Environment: CentOS 7.1 - Kernel 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 + ipvsadm 1.2.1 Pre-loaded some IPv6 rules into ipvs: I've used code, searching for the following structure: I then call ` to get the IPVS object, and then try to fetch the destinations. The following are the results: Before patching the ipvs module: After patching the ipvs module (pinning to your repo/branch) Also I've made those tests with the structure but searching for TCP, and for kube-apiserver (that have only one destination) and it worked fine in all those scenarios. If wanted I can improve the gist to pass the parameters as command arguments instead of hardcoded (sorry, did this in a rush to test)
/triage unresolved Comment when the issue is assessed and confirmed. I am a bot run by vllry. ‍

Thanks just waiting on now
same issue,sloved by update kernel to 5.X
I didn't want to wait, I updated to kernel-lt in the version 4.4 . The problem is solved on my side :)
Thanks for confirming. We'll still try to get in since I'm sure other folks with older kernels will run into this issue.
/retitle parseIP error with IPVS proxy
upgrade your system kernel to 4.xx edition
FYI: just merged, need to run some validation & cut a new release (v1.0.1).

/retitle DualStack / IPv6-only: parseIP error with IPVS proxy on CentOS 7
v1.18 cherry-pick
Hi, it seems that you're using v1.18.0 and this has been corrected in v1.18.3, can you please update and check? Tks
