Subject: gdb-rhbz881849-ipv6-3of3.patch
Fix thinko when deciding whether to disable TCP's Nagle algorithm
This patch fixes a thinko that happened when I was implementing the
IPv6 support on GDB/gdbserver. On certain situations, it is necessary
to disable TCP's Nagle algorithm (NODELAY). For obvious reasons, this
only applies when we are dealing with a TCP connection.
While implementing the IPv6 patch, I noticed that the net_open
function (on gdb/ser-tcp.c) kept a flag indicating whether the
connection type was UDP or TCP. I eliminated that flag, and started
using the 'struct addrinfo *' related to the successful connection
directly. However, I made a mistake:
if (success_ainfo->ai_socktype == IPPROTO_TCP)
^^^^^^^^^^^
{
/* Disable Nagle algorithm. Needed in some cases. */
int tmp = 1;
setsockopt (scb->fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY,
(char *) &tmp, sizeof (tmp));
}
The 'ai_socktype' field specifies the socket type (SOCK_STREAM or
SOCK_DGRAM), and not the protocol. This test was always failing, and
the Nagle algorithm was never being disabled.
The obvious fix is to use the 'ai_protocol' field. This is what this
patch does.
Huge "thank you" to Joel Brobecker who reported the regression (he was
experiencing an unusual delay while debugging a bare-metal program
running under QEMU) and helped me set up a proper reproducer for the
bug.
