Subject: bind() should not return -EADDRINUSE
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 14:19:11 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5489EE2F.6030502@ubuntu.com> (raw)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Attempting to establish a connection to a remote host using the same
local port, but a different remote port as the previous connection (
that is still in TIME_WAIT ) results in bind() returning -EADDRINUSE.
By changing the remote port, you avoid the conflict with the other
connection that is in TIME_WAIT, but since the remote port is not
known when bind() is called, it incorrectly returns -EADDRINUSE. This
check should not be done in bind(), but deferred until the remote port
is known in the call to connect(), or listen().
