( https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/libosmo-netif/+/29545 ) Change subject: stream: Return 0 when receiving sctp notification SCTP_COMM_LOST ...................................................................... stream: Return 0 when receiving sctp notification SCTP_COMM_LOST It was seen on a real pcap trace (sctp & gsmtap_log) that the kernel stack may decide to kill the connection (sending an ABORT) if it fails to transmit some data after a while: ABORT Cause code: "Protocol violation (0x000d)", Cause Information: "Association exceeded its max_retrans count". When this occurs, the kernel sends the MSG_NOTIFICATION,SCTP_ASSOC_CHANGE,SCTP_COMM_LOST notification when reading from the socket with sctp_recvmsg(). This basically signals that the socket conn is death, and subsequent writes to it will result in send() failures (and receive SCTP_SEND_FAILED notification upon follow up reads). It's important to notice that after those events, there's no other sort of different event like SHUTDOWN coming in, so that's the time at which we must tell the user to close the socket. Hence, let's signal the caller that the socket is death by returning 0, to comply with usual recv() API.
