errors: validator stopped; serviced_tcp_initiate: failed to send tcp query

Unbound

Hi,

I get these errors in my logs (probably not related to each other
since they don't appear at the same time and not at the same frequency):

error: internal error: looping module (validator) stopped
(more frequent)

error: serviced_tcp_initiate: failed to send tcp query
(less frequent)

unbound 1.8.0 on FreeBSD 11.2

I appreciate any information on
how bad these errors are and what their impact is.

kind regards,
nusenu

Hi Nusenu,

Hi,

I get these errors in my logs (probably not related to each other
since they don't appear at the same time and not at the same frequency):

There are bugfixes in 1.8.1, one solves a repeated state machine
activation and that could be what you are seeing too, once in a while.
And for the second one, I think this may be a TCP Fastopen failure and
it gets printed like this instead of ignored. What I have done is
squelch that message for high verbose debug output only. That one is
now committed in the repository for future release. Thanks for the report.

Best regards, Wouter
