If I'm reading the patch right (it has conflicts against current
master), then netdev_linux_send() has a special case that transforms
ENOBUFS into EAGAIN but then it replaces it immediately with ENOBUFS
from errno:
/* The Linux AF_PACKET implementation never blocks waiting for room
* for packets, instead returning ENOBUFS. Translate this into
* EAGAIN for the caller. */
if (errno == ENOBUFS) {
error = EAGAIN;
} else if (errno == EINTR) {
continue;
}
error = errno;
break;
If I understand the intent, I'd probably write that as:
/* The Linux AF_PACKET implementation never blocks waiting for room
* for packets, instead returning ENOBUFS. Translate this into
* EAGAIN for the caller. */
error = errno == ENOBUFS ? EAGAIN : errno;
if (error == EINTR) {
continue;
}
break;
That jumped out at me because it was the site of a conflict, but I
didn't really read the read. I'd appreciate a rebase and repost.
