ebpf: fall back to proc parsing when we detect a late event #2334
Labels
bug
Broken end user or developer functionality; not working as the developers intended it
Milestone
There is a kernel bug introduced by torvalds/linux@27727df (see bcc's report) that makes timestamps be wrong and results in messages like this in scope's logs:
Moreover, this can result in
connect
events closely followed byclose
events to be in reverse order, causing the connection to never disappear from scope.This bug was introduced in 4.8 but was backported to older kernels by distros. The fix was included in 4.9 and also backported. For example, in Ubuntu, the bug was introduced in kernel
4.4.0-42
and it's not fixed until kernel4.4.0-51
.We should fall back to proc parsing when we detect a late event.
