[dockerd] Force usage of cgo DNS resolver (#13649)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Go's runtime (and dockerd inherits this) uses own DNS resolver implementation by default on Linux.
It has been observed that there are some DNS resolution issues when executing ```docker pull``` after first boot.

Consider the following script:

```
admin@r-boxer-sw01:~$ while :; do date; cat /etc/resolv.conf; ping -c 1 harbor.mellanox.com; docker pull harbor.mellanox.com/sonic/cpu-report:1.0.0 ; sleep 1; done

While /etc/resolv.conf has the correct content and ping (and any other utility that uses libc's DNS resolution implementation) works correctly
docker is unable to resolve the hostname and falls back to default [::1]:53. This started to happen after PR #13516 has been merged.
As you can see from the log, dockerd is able to pick up the correct /etc/resolv.conf only after 5 sec since first try. This seems to be somehow related to the logic in Go's DNS resolver
https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/net/dnsclient_unix.go#L385.

There have been issues like that reported in docker like:
  - docker/cli#2299
  - docker/cli#2618
  - moby/moby#22398

Since this starts to happen after inclusion of resolvconf package by
above mentioned PR and the fact I can't see any problem with that (ping,
nslookup, etc. works) the choice is made to force dockerd to use cgo
(libc) resolver.
