-Subject: ping: try next addrinfo on connect failure
-
-On hosts that have routing rules matching on the outgoing interface [1],
-getaddrinfo() may return results sorted in a suboptimal order because it is
-not aware of the network interface passed to ping via the "-I" option. In
-particular, address reachability detection may fail and getaddrinfo() will
-return ipv6 results first, even though the only routes available are ipv4.
-
-Improve user experience by trying next addrinfo entry if we encounter a
-failure at connect() time because of missing or unreachable routes.
-
-[1] For example, on switches running Cumulus Linux, the default VRF is used
-for front ports and a "mgmt" VRF is used for the management interface, which
-also handles all DNS traffic. (VRFs apply different routing rules based on
-the iif/oif, ie. influenced by SO_BINDTODEVICE.) In the default vrf, it's
-possible to ping an ipv4 address via the mgmt vrf by specifying "-I mgmt".
-However, that will fail if the target host is specified by name, has a AAAA
-record and there is no ipv6 route to it.
-
-Since libc commit 5ddb5bf5fb, getaddrinfo() does a udp connect to result
-addresses to check if there is a route to them. This is to implement
-RFC3484 ยง6 Rule 1 ("Avoid unusable destinations") which is part of the
-algorithm to order results. getaddrinfo() is unaware of ping's "-I" option
-and tries to connect its socket via the default vrf, which has no ipv6 route
-to the target host (and, in fact, no ipv4 route either). Following this
-failure, getaddrinfo() returns results ordered according to
-/etc/gai.conf (Rule 6) - by default, ipv6 first.
-
-ping tries only the first entry returned by getaddrinfo() and fails to
-connect to it because there is no ipv6 route to the host, even in the mgmt
-vrf. However, if getaddrinfo() had ordered the ipv4 result first or ping
-had tried the next addrinfo entry (the ipv4 one), ping could connect a udp
-socket to it and later successfully exchange icmp messages with it.
-
-Example:

-For demonstration purposes, the following configuration allows one to
-reproduce a similar problem. Starting from a host with a vanilla
-configuration, default ipv4 route using eth0, no ipv6 global routes:

- 192.168.15.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.15.100
