Without TFO, any subsequent connect() call after a successful one returns -1 EISCONN. The last API update ensured that __inet_stream_connect() can return -1 EINPROGRESS in response to sendmsg() when TFO is in use to indicate that the connection is now in progress. Unfortunately since this function is used both for connect() and sendmsg(), it has the undesired side effect of making connect() now return -1 EINPROGRESS as well after a successful call, while at the same time poll() returns POLLOUT. This can confuse some applications which happen to call connect() and to check for -1 EISCONN to ensure the connection is usable, and for which EINPROGRESS indicates a need to poll, causing a loop. This problem was encountered in haproxy where a call to connect() is precisely used in certain cases to confirm a connection's readiness. While arguably haproxy's behaviour should be improved here, it seems important to aim at a more robust behaviour when the goal of the new API is to make it easier to implement TFO in existing applications. This patch simply ensures that we preserve the same semantics as in the non-TFO case on the connect() syscall when using TFO, while still returning -1 EINPROGRESS on sendmsg(). For this we simply tell __inet_stream_connect() whether we're doing a regular connect() or in fact connecting for a sendmsg() call.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
