Subject: Checking for closed TCP connection in kernel space
Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2011 16:16:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D2339DB.2090603@250bpm.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I open a TCP socket in the kernel space (sock_create_kern). I connect or
bind it, I send and receive data. Everything works as expected.
The problem is how to find out that the peer have closed the connection.
In user space you get 0 when calling recv() is such case. However, in
kernel space kernel_recvmsg seems to return 0 anytime when there are no
more data available. It doesn't return an error either.
Should I monitor the socket state using sk_state_change callback? But
the callback seems to work in async manner, i.e. I can accidentally use
closed socket before I get notified about the state change.
Any ideas?
Martin
