Which older kernels returned EOPNOTSUPP on SO_ZEROCOPY? There is prior art in changing this error code when it leaks to userspace, such as commit 2230a7ef5198 ("drop_monitor: Use correct error code") and commit 4a5cdc604b9c ("net/tls: Fix return values to avoid ENOTSUPP"). I certainly wrote code in the past that explicitly checks for 524 (ENOTSUPP). But do not immediately see public code that does this. Indeed, udpgso_bench_tx checks for both these codes. So it's probably fine. Note that there is some risk. But no more than with those prior commits. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Well, in the code I just wrote, I ignored ENOPROTOOPT due to older kernels, and it's only when the code happened to be run against PF_LOCAL sockets that the ENOTSUPP question raised. My code has never been exposed to a EOPNOTSUPP error, so I would have never written a check against EOPNOTSUPP if you didn't mention it as a possibility.

If you think the benefit outweighs the risk --the same conclusion reached in the commits I mentioned, 2230a7ef5198 ("drop_monitor: Use correct error code") and commit 4a5cdc604b9c ("net/tls: Fix return values to avoid ENOTSUPP")-- then I can support that. But like those, I think the correct error code then is EOPNOTSUPP. And the commit message would be stronger by explicitly referencing that prior art, and the fact that those changes did not seem to cause problems. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
