I posted this on bugzilla
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212716) but thought I’d see
if anyone here can offer some advice.
We have a simple test program to illustrate the problem.
Run "server" on a machine, and then run "client" on the same machine.
Server creates a listening socket and loops accepting connections, sending a
little data, closing the socket, and then back to the top of the loop.
Client creates a socket, connects to the server, does a recv() with
MSG_WAITALL, closes the socket, and loops.
This runs anywhere from one to a few dozen times and then hangs. The server
socket is in FIN_WAIT_2, and the client socket is in CLOSE_WAIT. So the client
side is waiting for the application to close the socket, but it's still stuck
in the recv(), never being awakened by the EOF from the server closing the
socket.
The same code runs on Linux and QNX without any problem.
This seems ridiculously simple and seems like it would affect many programs, so
perhaps we’re just overlooking something.
Note that it makes no difference whether it's run in the same machine (to
localhost or to the machine's own IP address) or across the network, or whether
it's IPv4 or IPv6. It’s also the same with a UNIX domain STREAM socket (but
not a SEQPACKET socket), so it appears to be unrelated to TCP and perhaps more
of a general problem in the socket layer. In all cases, the recv() never
unblocks when the peer closes the socket.
