[Bug 1670959] Re: systemd-resolved using 100% CPU

Fri Sep 28 09:08:07 UTC 2018

I have this on Ubuntu 18.04. In my case I use dnsmasq with a custom
configuration providing DHCP and DNS to multiple bridges (Virtual
Machines and containers). So I need them both (in so far as I need
dnsmasq and am being forced to use systemd).

The problem is a DNS loop between systemd and dnsmasq. systemd-resolved
forwards DNS queries in parallel to entries in /etc/resolv.conf and
servers picked up from interfaces via DHCP. If you, like me have dnsmasq
in resolv.conf, and a dnsmasq configuration that forwards to systemd,
then you have a loop.

My work-around is to add `DNS=127.1.1.1` into
/etc/systemd/resolved.conf. Nothing is listening on 127.1.1.1 so the
queries go unanswered. The systemd resovler gets answers only from
servers provided to me via DHCP or statically assigned to an interface.

Inside my dnsmasq.conf I have `server=127.0.0.53`, and resolv.conf has
`nameserver 127.0.0.1` which is dnsmasq.

Title:
  systemd-resolved using 100% CPU

Status in dnsmasq package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Sometimes systemd-resolved process is using 100% CPU.
  After a while it changes back to normal.

  It happens usually after connecting to the (wifi) network, like
  starting the OS.

  As you can see, I would use it together with dnsmasq.
