Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] vsock: use sock_error() to consume sk_err after a failed connect
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 01:09:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810170935.2242314-4-phind.uet@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810170935.2242314-1-phind.uet@gmail.com>

vsock_connect() returns sk_err to userspace but does not clear it:
  if (sk->sk_err) {
            err = -sk->sk_err;

For a blocking connect() the error has already been delivered as
connect()'s return value, so leaving it set causes subsequent operations
like poll()/epoll() to keep reporting POLLERR even though the connect
failure was already delivered.

The error should be consumed once it has been returned to userspace.
Switch to sock_error(), which reads and clears sk_err atomically,
matching the behavior of other protocol implementations such as
__inet_stream_connect().
