[PATCH] unix.7: Add a description for ENFILE.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When creating UNIX domain sockets, the kernel used to return -ENOMEM on
error where it should return -ENFILE.  The behaviour has been wrong since
2.2.4 and fixed in the recent commit f4bd73b5a950 ("af_unix: Return errno
instead of NULL in unix_create1().").
