Subject: [PATCH] net: leave O_NONBLOCK to the sendmsg and recvmsg syscalls
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 16:19:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f084de67-85b0-4759-845f-513879ebee5f@kernel.dk> (raw)

____sys_sendmsg() and ____sys_recvmsg() turn O_NONBLOCK on the socket
into MSG_DONTWAIT. That is right for the system calls, but io_uring uses
__sys_sendmsg_sock() and __sys_recvmsg_sock() for a blocking attempt
from io-wq as well, after the non-blocking attempts with MSG_DONTWAIT
have failed. On an O_NONBLOCK socket that attempt can't block either and
the request completes with -EAGAIN, unlike IORING_OP_SEND and RECV,
which call sock_sendmsg() and sock_recvmsg() directly and don't look at
O_NONBLOCK at all.

Move the O_NONBLOCK handling to ___sys_sendmsg() and ___sys_recvmsg(),
which the sendmsg, sendmmsg, recvmsg and recvmmsg system calls go
through. The io_uring helpers then pass the flags the caller asked for.
