Do you know why we don't need this for SOCK_SEQPACKET and SOCK_DGRAM?
Yes, here is my explanation:
This function checks that input error is SIGPIPE, and if so it sends SIGPIPE to the 'current' thread
(except case when MSG_NOSIGNAL flag is set). This behaviour is described in POSIX:
Page 367 (description of defines from sys/socket.h):
MSG_NOSIGNAL: No SIGPIPE generated when an attempt to send is made on a stream-
oriented socket that is no longer connected.
Page 497 (description of SOCK_STREAM):
A SIGPIPE signal is raised if a thread sends on a broken stream (one that is
no longer connected).
Okay, but I think we should do also for SEQPACKET:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696699/functions/xsh_chap02_10.html
In 2.10.6 Socket Types:
"The SOCK_SEQPACKET socket type is similar to the SOCK_STREAM type, and
is also connection-oriented. The only difference between these types is
that record boundaries ..."
Then in 2.10.14 Signals:
"The SIGPIPE signal shall be sent to a thread that attempts to send data
on a socket that is no longer able to send. In addition, the send
operation fails with the error [EPIPE]."
It's honestly not super clear, but I assume the problem is similar with
seqpacket since it's connection-oriented, or did I miss something?
For example in sctp_sendmsg() IIUC we raise a SIGPIPE regardless of
whether the socket is STREAM or SEQPACKET.
Hm, yes, you're right. Seems check for socket type is not needed in this case,
as this function is only for connection oriented sockets.
Ack!
Page 1802 (description of 'send()' call):
MSG_NOSIGNAL
Requests not to send the SIGPIPE signal if an attempt to
send is made on a stream-oriented socket that is no
longer connected. The [EPIPE] error shall still be
returned
And the same for 'sendto()' and 'sendmsg()'
Link to the POSIX document:
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/open/n4217.pdf
TCP (I think we must rely on it), KCM, SMC sockets (all of them are stream) work in the same
way by calling this function. AF_UNIX also works in the same way, but it implements SIGPIPE handling
without this function.
I'm okay calling this function.
The only thing that confused me a little bit, that sockets above returns EPIPE when
we have only SEND_SHUTDOWN set, but for AF_VSOCK EPIPE is returned for RCV_SHUTDOWN
also, but I think it is related to this patchset.
Do you mean that it is NOT related to this patchset?
Yes, **NOT**
Got it, so if you have time when you're back, let's check also that
(not for this series as you mentioned).
Thanks,
Stefano
