From 3fe7713c4f9d16f192271bc4fa8a2ffda6bb28fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guus Sliepen Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2020 14:55:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fall back to getifaddrs() to get an interface address if there is no default route. When generating invitations, we try to find a suitable local interface address by faking an outgoing connection to the Internet. However, that doesn't work if there is no default route. In this case, fall back to using getifaddrs() if that function is available, and filter out any link-local and loopback addresses. --- src/meshlink.c | 43 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 43 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/meshlink.c b/src/meshlink.c index a93bdd67..5b01ad2c 100644 --- a/src/meshlink.c +++ b/src/meshlink.c @@ -287,6 +287,21 @@ char *meshlink_get_external_address_for_family(meshlink_handle_t *mesh, int fami return hostname; } +static bool is_localaddr(sockaddr_t *sa) { + switch(sa->sa.sa_family) { + case AF_INET: + return *(uint8_t *)(&sa->in.sin_addr.s_addr) == 127; + + case AF_INET6: { + uint16_t first = sa->in6.sin6_addr.s6_addr[0] << 8 | sa->in6.sin6_addr.s6_addr[1]; + return first == 0 || (first & 0xffc0) == 0xfe80; + } + + default: + return false; + } +} + char *meshlink_get_local_address_for_family(meshlink_handle_t *mesh, int family) { (void)mesh; @@ -300,6 +315,34 @@ char *meshlink_get_local_address_for_family(meshlink_handle_t *mesh, int family) success = getlocaladdrname("2606:2800:220:1:248:1893:25c8:1946", localaddr, sizeof(localaddr), mesh->netns); } +#ifdef HAVE_GETIFADDRS + + if(!success) { + struct ifaddrs *ifa = NULL; + getifaddrs(&ifa); + + for(struct ifaddrs *ifap = ifa; ifap; ifap = ifap->ifa_next) { + sockaddr_t *sa = (sockaddr_t *)ifap->ifa_addr; + + if(sa->sa.sa_family != family) { + continue; + } + + if(is_localaddr(sa)) { + continue; + } + + if(!getnameinfo(&sa->sa, SALEN(sa->sa), localaddr, sizeof(localaddr), NULL, 0, NI_NUMERICHOST | NI_NUMERICSERV)) { + success = true; + break; + } + } + + freeifaddrs(ifa); + } + +#endif + if(!success) { meshlink_errno = MESHLINK_ENETWORK; return NULL; -- 2.39.5
