Bug #75721 [Com]: MCAST_JOIN_GROUP is broken for FreeBSD

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75721&edit=1 ID: 75721 Comment by: jonathan at tangential dot ca Reported by: jonathan at tangential dot ca Summary: MCAST_JOIN_GROUP is broken for FreeBSD Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Sockets related Operating System: FreeBSD 10.3 PHP Version: 7.0.26 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It looks like FreeBSD does actually support RFC 3678 via setsockopt (See sys/netinet/in_mcast.c). However, it did not work for me until I rebuilt the sockets module so that it uses the IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP/IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP` flags instead. I may have to see whether I can reproduce the issue in another jail. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-12-22 01:17:28] jonathan at tangential dot ca Description: ------------ FreeBSD supports listening on/joining both IPv4 and IPv6 multicast groups. However, it handles full RFC 3678 support (including IPv6) via a different interface (setsourcefilter vs setsockopt). In order to properly support multicast on FreeBSD (including IPv6 support), one would have to (conditionally) use setsourcefilter instead of setsockopt (throughout much of ext/sockets/multicast.c). Since I don't have the requirement or will to implement this with FreeBSD's newer protocol agnostic sourcefilter APIs, I've chosen to take the easy way out and just make it work with IPv4 only. This bug report should likely be split into two bugs as I've only addressed the IPv4 case for now. I've included versions that correspond to my environment. However, this is far more generally applicable. This bug is the FreeBSD variant/equivalent of bug #63000 (which was for macOS). Please see the following FreeBSD documentation references (for details on FreeBSD's multicast support): https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ip&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current&arch=default&format=html https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sourcefilter&sektion=3&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current Test script: --------------- <?php // This just listens for MDNS traffic. You could optionally dispatch a query if your test network doesn't have a bunch of MDNS traffic $socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP); if (!socket_set_option($socket, IPPROTO_IP, MCAST_JOIN_GROUP, array('group' => '224.0.0.251', 'interface' => 0))) { echo socket_strerror(socket_last_error()); } socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEPORT, 1); socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1); socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, ['sec' => 10, 'usec' => 0]); socket_bind($socket, '0.0.0.0', 5353); // socket_sendto($socket, $data, strlen($data), 0, '224.0.0.251', 5353); $response = socket_read($socket, 1024, PHP_BINARY_READ); var_dump($response); Expected result: ---------------- true (and actually seeing multicast packets destined for the requested group address) Actual result: -------------- false (with a pass-through error message referencing code [22]/EINVAL) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75721&edit=1
