Hi, I am digging up a thread from the lksctp-developers mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/p/lksctp/mailman/message/9054592/ At the time of the post (March, 2005) it looked like SCTP_SHUTDOWN_COMP SCTP_ASSOC_CHANGE notifications were not delivered to the application due to too restrictive a check in ulpqueue.c:sctp_ulpq_tail_event(). As of today, using Linux Kernel 4.4.0-rc3, I experience the same behaviour. I am using a tweaked version of https://github.com/tdimitrov/sctp-sandbox/blob/one-to-many_noitf/ to reproduce the case. Note that the server app does see SCTP_SHUTDOWN_COMP notifications. The issue is on the client app. My "tweak" for the client app is using a one-to-one socket (SOCK_STREAM) instead of one-to-many. I also perform a shutdown(SHUT_RDWR) before close() is called, as well as a recvmsg() [get_reply() in that code base semantics] to receive the notifications before closing the file descriptor. Commenting out the following lines in ulpqueue.c does get the notifications delivered to the client app: /* If the socket is just going to throw this away, do not * even try to deliver it. */ if (sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD) || (sk->sk_shutdown & RCV_SHUTDOWN)) goto out_free; However, I guess that's not a viable solution as this may have undesirable side-effects (I am not familiar with this code base). It was more of a sanity check for me. Question is, is this a bug? Should we fix it? [Note: it's my first time writing to this ML, sorry if I am breaking any implicit rules or explicit conventions].
