Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Fix getsockname (ipv4/ipv6)
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:45:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090126220931.A8F0154A11@localhost> (raw)

This change will return ENOSPC if the return address provided by the caller of getsockname
 is not sufficiently large to hold the return value.  This is consistent with the rest of the
 API. However, there are some implemenations that copy only as many bytes of sockaddr from the
 kernel to user-space as specified in the *addrlen attribute.  (1) This wasn't the behavior now
 (2) we should not adopt this behavior because it is quite messy, e.g., copy only part of a port,
 IP-address? Most partial retrivals do not make sense.  This is why I suggest returning EINVAL,
 when the return struct is too small.
