Subject: [newlib-cygwin] SO_RERROR indicates that receive buffer overflows
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2022 11:53:54 +0000 (GMT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220711115354.DBD6A385742A@sourceware.org> (raw)

https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git;h=2ba2e1e052fee6fcde09efc1aacd29a83de366a3

commit 2ba2e1e052fee6fcde09efc1aacd29a83de366a3
Author: Alexander V. Chernikov <melifaro@FreeBSD.org>
Date:   Sun Feb 7 17:21:18 2021 +0000

    SO_RERROR indicates that receive buffer overflows
    
    should be handled as errors. Historically receive buffer overflows have been
    ignored and programs could not tell if they missed messages or messages had
    been truncated because of overflows. Since programs historically do not expect
    to get receive overflow errors, this behavior is not the default.
    
    This is really really important for programs that use route(4) to keep in sync
    with the system. If we loose a message then we need to reload the full system
    state, otherwise the behaviour from that point is undefined and can lead
    to chasing bogus bug reports.
