[UNIX]: EOF on non-blocking SOCK_SEQPACKET
I am not absolutely sure whether this actually is a bug (as in: I've got
no clue what the standards say or what other implementations do), but at
least I was pretty surprised when I noticed that a recv() on a
non-blocking unix domain socket of type SOCK_SEQPACKET (which is connection
oriented, after all) where the remote end has closed the connection
returned -1 (EAGAIN) rather than 0 to indicate end of file.
This is a test case:
| #include <sys/types.h>
| #include <unistd.h>
| #include <sys/socket.h>
| #include <sys/un.h>
| #include <fcntl.h>
| #include <string.h>
| #include <stdlib.h>
|
| int main(){
| int sock;
| struct sockaddr_un addr;
| char buf[4096];
| int pfds[2];
|
| pipe(pfds);
| sock=socket(PF_UNIX,SOCK_SEQPACKET,0);
| addr.sun_family=AF_UNIX;
| strcpy(addr.sun_path,"/tmp/foobar_testsock");
| bind(sock,(struct sockaddr *)&addr,sizeof(addr));
| listen(sock,1);
| if(fork()){
| close(sock);
| sock=socket(PF_UNIX,SOCK_SEQPACKET,0);
| connect(sock,(struct sockaddr *)&addr,sizeof(addr));
| fcntl(sock,F_SETFL,fcntl(sock,F_GETFL)|O_NONBLOCK);
| close(pfds[1]);
| read(pfds[0],buf,sizeof(buf));
| recv(sock,buf,sizeof(buf),0); // <-- this one
| }else accept(sock,NULL,NULL);
| exit(0);
| }
If you try it, make sure /tmp/foobar_testsock doesn't exist.
The marked recv() returns -1 (EAGAIN) on 2.6.23.9. Below you find a
patch that fixes that.
