[PATCH] ipconfig: send host-name in DHCP requests
in [Kernel]

Prev: kacpi_notify goes into an infinite loop (luckly it calls cond_resched)
Next: MIPS: Fix deferred console messages during CPU hotplug
From: Wu Fengguang on 30 May 2010 23:30 Normally dhclient can be configured to send the "host-name" option in DHCP requests to update the client's DNS record. However for an NFSROOT system, dhclient shall never be called (which may change the IP addr and therefore lose your root NFS mount connection). So enable updating the DNS record with kernel parameter ip=::::$HOST_NAME::dhcp Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu(a)intel.com> --- net/ipv4/ipconfig.c | 7 +++++++ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/ipv4/ipconfig.c b/net/ipv4/ipconfig.c index 067ce9e..db54343 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/ipconfig.c +++ b/net/ipv4/ipconfig.c @@ -665,6 +665,13 @@ ic_dhcp_init_options(u8 *options) memcpy(e, ic_req_params, sizeof(ic_req_params)); e += sizeof(ic_req_params); + if (ic_host_name_set) { + *e++ = 12; /* host-name */ + len = strlen(utsname()->nodename); + *e++ = len; + memcpy(e, utsname()->nodename, len); + e += len; + } if (*vendor_class_identifier) { printk(KERN_INFO "DHCP: sending class identifier \"%s\"\n", vendor_class_identifier); -- 1.6.6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
