Change subject: socket: add function to wait until a socket becomes writeable
......................................................................


Patch Set 7:

> That gets translated to OSMO_FD_READ|OSMO_FD_WRITE and the call-back is called.  The only suboptimal part is that OSMO_FD_EXCEPT is not set in such situations.   The current code only sets it if POLLPRI is set.  The current mapping of poll flags to select-style flags is baesd in linux/fs/select.c but we could simply make POLLERR or POLLHUP also set OSMO_FD_EXCEPT if we wanted to.  That way the call-back could call the getsockopt(SO_ERROR) only if that flag is set.

looking at the documentation of poll(2), I think we should introduce a new OSMO_FD_ERROR flag which does not have to be enabled in ofd->what but which is set as 'what' argument when ofd->cb(ofd, what) is called whenever poll signals POLLERR, POLLHUP or POLLNVAL.

This way the application code can use the OSMO_FD_ERROR flag as trigger to do the SO_ERROR getsockopt, ... - or just not do the getsockopt at all, as in any case OSMO_FD_ERROR means that the fd is unusable, no matter what the reason was.
