Hi,

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.
