Bug Description

[Impact]

* open-iscsi is adding "domainsearch", a non-existent configuration option, instead of "search" in /etc/resolv.conf. As a result, the search list is ignored in the clients.

[Test case]

* Install an ubuntu machine that uses iscsi as root, and does not use systemd-resolvd.
* Prepare the dhcp server to provide the search list to its clients. For instance, in dnsmasq:

dhcp-option=option:domain-search,canonical.com

* Boot the machine and check the content of /etc/resolv.conf
- if domainsearch is present, the search list will be ignored:

root@iscsi-xenial:/home/ubuntu# ping -c1 golem
ping: unknown host golem

root@iscsi-xenial:/home/ubuntu# strace ping -c1 golem 2>&1 | grep golem
execve("/bin/ping", ["ping", "-c1", "golem"], [/* 19 vars */]) = 0
sendto(4, "_(\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\5golem\0\0\1\0\1", 23, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 23
recvfrom(4, "_(\201\203\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\5golem\0\0\1\0\1", 1024, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.122.1")}, [16]) = 23
write(2, "ping: unknown host golem\n", 25ping: unknown host golem

- if search is present, the search list will be used:

root@iscsi-xenial:/home/ubuntu# ping -c1 golem
PING golem.canonical.com (91.189.89.199) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from golem.canonical.com (91.189.89.199): icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=63.7 ms

root@iscsi-xenial:/home/ubuntu# strace ping -c1 golem 2>&1 | grep golem
execve("/bin/ping", ["ping", "-c1", "golem"], [/* 19 vars */]) = 0
sendto(4, "\1\\\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\5golem\tcanonical\3com"..., 37, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 37
recvfrom(4, "\1\\\201\200\0\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\5golem\tcanonical\3com"..., 1024, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.122.1")}, [16]) = 53
write(1, "PING golem.canonical.com (91.189"..., 145PING golem.canonical.com (91.189.89.199) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from golem.canonical.com (91.189.89.199): icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=63.5 ms
write(1, "--- golem.canonical.com ping sta"..., 157--- golem.canonical.com ping statistics ---

[Regression potential]

* The change is minor (a string replacement) and it's currently not working.
* Any possible regression would involve continuing to break DNS resolution.

[Other info]

* resolv.conf man page: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/resolv.conf.5.html

[Original description]

Having an interface file such as /run/net-eno2.conf with the following content:

DEVICE='eno2'
PROTO='dhcp'
IPV4ADDR='10.10.10.10'
IPV4BROADCAST='10.10.10.255'
IPV4NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
IPV4GATEWAY='10.10.10.1'
IPV4DNS0='169.254.169.254'
IPV4DNS1='0.0.0.0'
HOSTNAME=''
DNSDOMAIN='test.com'
NISDOMAIN=''
ROOTSERVER='169.254.169.254'
ROOTPATH=''
filename='/ipxe.efi'
UPTIME='45'
DHCPLEASETIME='86400'
DOMAINSEARCH='test.com'

net-interface-handler translates it to:

nameserver 169.254.169.254
domainsearch test.com

instead of:

nameserver 169.254.169.254
search test.com

The problem is that domainsearch is not a valid configuration option for /etc/resolv.conf and is ignored.

i made minor changes to the template - to include "and does not use systemd-resolvd." to the testcase section, and add a possible regression line to the regression potential section (having 'None' in RP is specifically advised against). If either of those need adjustment please feel free to edit.

I'll start the SRU, beginning of next week. That will give cosmic the time to go through build, autopkgtest, ... and get "Fix Released" by the time we are starting the SRU.

I see a autopkgtest failure in resource-agents: http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/r/resource-agents/bionic/armhf

However this has both passed and failed before with the same error, so appears to be a flaky test rather than a regression caused by this SRU.
