Fw: [Bug 42012] New: regression on 2.6.39.3 with socket/bind; still there in 3.0.4

[Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>]

Interesting? Does the kernel ABI include supporting buggy old proprietary
programs?

Hi,

the regression has been introduced in 2.6.39.3 with commit
d0733d2e29b652b2e7b1438ececa732e4eed98eb. I experience this with a proprietary
binary program. So I cant give you the source code which fails. This program
used to work before but fails after applying this patch. As far as I understand
the programm is using this code for ipc communication. I have recorded the
strace output of the relevant part of the program.
strace without d0733d2e29b652b2e7b1438ececa732e4eed98eb on kernel 2.6.39.2

2056  bind(4, {sa_family=AF_UNSPEC, sa_data="\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"},
16) = 0
2056  getsockname(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(33537),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, [16]) = 0

6190  close(11)                         = 0

Btw, i have not enough knowledge on this topic to decide whether its the
programs fault or the kernels fault. The binary program is sybyl8.1 from
tripos.

Best regards, Rene
