[please CC me, I'm not subscribed] It seems that if one does a getsockopt(SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF) a.k.a. sctp_peeloff(), even if the socket descriptor from which the association is to be peeled off has SOCK_CLOEXEC/SOCK_NONBLOCK set, the peeled off socket descriptor doesn't have so. It would be advisable to either clone these flags or add an atomic version of SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF (accept4() style). The missing SOCK_CLOEXEC requires unintentional additional locking which typically is prone to errors and can slow down processing. -- Andreas Steinmetz SPAMmers use robotrap@xxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sctp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
