No, I don't think so, since POSIX says to return EAGAIN when:

  The socket's file descriptor is marked O_NONBLOCK and no data is waiting to
  be received; or MSG_OOB is set and no out-of-band data is available and either
  the socket's file descriptor is marked O_NONBLOCK or the socket does not
  support blocking to await out-of-band data

So, I think returning EIO is probably better; I think that would be POSIX
compliant.
