Harry Sintonen<p>DId you know that some BSDs would return 0 if called recvmsg() for non-blocking UDP socket with all iov_len totalling to 0? No-one says this is incorrect return value, but Linux does return -1 EAGAIN in this case. It's a subtle difference but it can cause trouble if your code assumes certain behaviour.</p><p>netbsd kernel code responsible for returning 0 in this case: <a href="https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/68fd9ef50c0ab993c10e4f19cfa2a1f4dbb10802/sys/kern/uipc_socket.c#L578" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/68f</span><span class="invisible">d9ef50c0ab993c10e4f19cfa2a1f4dbb10802/sys/kern/uipc_socket.c#L578</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/netbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>netbsd</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a></p>
