From ad8fb69cccf47e78d0ddc3e44417867430c5e55c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2017 15:55:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Avoid depending on non-POSIX behavior of fcntl(2). The POSIX standard does not say that the success return value for fcntl(F_SETFD) and fcntl(F_SETFL) is zero; it says only that it's not -1. We had several calls that were making the stronger assumption. Adjust them to test specifically for -1 for strict spec compliance. The standard further leaves open the possibility that the O_NONBLOCK flag bit is not the only active one in F_SETFL's argument. Formally, therefore, one ought to get the current flags with F_GETFL and store them back with only the O_NONBLOCK bit changed when trying to change the nonblock state. In port/noblock.c, we were doing the full pushup in pg_set_block but not in pg_set_noblock, which is just weird. Make both of them do it properly, since they have little business making any assumptions about the socket they're handed. The other places where we're issuing F_SETFL are working with FDs we just got from pipe(2), so it's reasonable to assume the FDs' properties are all default, so I didn't bother adding F_GETFL steps there. Also, while pg_set_block deserves some points for trying to do things right, somebody had decided that it'd be even better to cast fcntl's third argument to "long". Which is completely loony, because POSIX clearly says the third argument for an F_SETFL call is "int". Given the lack of field complaints, these missteps apparently are not of significance on any common platforms. But they're still wrong, so back-patch to all supported branches.
