- Allow any resolv.conf entry to be retrieved.
- Allow only IPV4 resolv.conf entries on lookup_name_dns() and lookup_addr_dns().
- If one resolv.conf entry doesn't work on lookup_nane_dns() and lookup_addr_dns(), use the next one.
* Allow any resolv.conf entry to be retrieved. * Allow only IPV4 resolv.conf entries on lookup_name_dns() and lookup_addr_dns().
Why is this needed? |
Because having an IPV6 address breaks the code, since there isn't support for them yet in inet_pton(), and the DNS code at all. |
|
What special work is even needed for them to work in the DNS code? This is not AAAA records, this is socket(AF_INET6) instead of AF_INET. |
|
I meant that there isn't IPV6 inet_pton() support yet, so passing a IPV6 address to it just breaks, and what lookup_name_dns()/lookup_addr_dns() do is use that exact function. |

This is a really minor nitpick, but we don't do this in the managarm code style, nor is it necessary.

Another style note: comments should be formally written. So with proper punctuation and capitalization.

I feel like this routine can be split up into a function.

Also this while loop doesn't need to be a while(true) loop, you can also write while(nameserver = get_nameserver()).

Sure @Geertiebear , I will improve everything you mentioned. The rationale behind the last snippet is to make error handling easier, since outside of the while loop the code checks if an error happened by seeing if |
