Hi guys, I am having lots of dns 5s delay on a arm/aarch64 platform, after tcpdump capturing dns packages, I found that the delay always happened when A/AAAA queries happened to have same dns transaction id. network/res_mkquery.c ... /* Make a reasonably unpredictable id */ clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &ts); id = ts.tv_nsec + ts.tv_nsec/65536UL & 0xffff; q[0] = id/256; q[1] = id; ... time/clock_gettime.c ... r = __syscall(SYS_clock_gettime, clk, ts); if (r == -ENOSYS) { if (clk == CLOCK_REALTIME) { __syscall(SYS_gettimeofday, ts, 0); ts->tv_nsec = (int)ts->tv_nsec * 1000; return 0; } r = -EINVAL; } return __syscall_ret(r); .... On aarch64, gettimeofday yields current time with low accuracy, the smallest unit is 1e-6, (I think) Could we add some trick to make sure that the parallel A/AAAA queries got different id? Thanks David
