We've noticed a regression on arm32 in sendto() and send() system calls, causing them to hang forever. The easiest way we have found to reproduce, is to simply run 'ip link'. When running 'strace -T ip link' we see: ... getsockname(3, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, nl_pid=364, nl_groups=00000000}, [12]) = 0 <0.000079> .... long wait (10 minute) and then eventually: send(3, {{len=40, type=0x12 /* NLMSG_??? */, flags=NLM_F_REQUEST|0x300, seq=1522961259, pid=0}, \"\21\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\10\0\35\0\1\0\0\0\"}, 40, 0[ 807.868633] random: crng init done Ignore the 'random: crng init done' - I believe it is causing the dmesg buffer to print which is what gets us our send() output. We saw a similar strace hang on sendto() with the ltp 'gethostid01' test. We've also observed the following kernel log during boot on the x15/arm32 device: [ 13.555030] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 13.580352] net eth0: initializing cpsw version 1.15
