Subject: negative timeout can be set up by setsockopt system call
Date: Fri, 04 Nov 2005 20:27:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <436BC42B.1050804@gmail.com> (raw)
I observed that the the setsockopt system call can setup negative
timeout. As a matter of fact the function sock_set_timeout checks for
zero timeout but does not check for negative timeouts. I tested this
against 2.6.14 kernel but it is so in all previous release also. So I
am wondering if it is a bug or there is some reason for keeping it that
way which I am missing.
