Summary

Add compat.linux.ignore_ip_recverr sysctl. This is a workaround
for missing IP_RECVERR setsockopt(2) support. Without it, DNS
resolution is broken for glibc >= 2.30 (glibc BZ #24047).

Event Timeline

Why a sysctl for this one instead of just whine loudly and carry on like most other cases?

Because it would be way too verbose - it’s being used all the time, every time something attempts to resolve a name. The sysctl is just a debugging aid, in case it would break some use case.

(Also, I have another change that adds generic logging of unsupported options in setsockopt and getsockopt in the queue.)
