Latest Git kernel: avahi-daemon[2410]: ioctl(): Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Christian Zigotzky]

Hello,

We regularly compile and test Linux kernels every day during the merge 
window. Since Thuesday we have very high CPU loads because of the avahi 
daemon on our desktop Linux systems (Ubuntu, Debian etc).

Error message: avahi-daemon[2410]: ioctl(): Inappropriate ioctl for device

Could you please test the latest Git kernel?

It is possible to deactivate the avahi daemon with the following lines 
in the file "/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf":

use-ipv4=no
use-ipv6=no

But this is only a temporary solution.

Thanks,
Christian
