Subjectsetsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF) broken on 2.4.18?
Date
Hi,

I run:

Linux nice 2.4.18-pre7 #1 SMP Mon Jan 28 23:12:48 MET 2002 i686 unknown

I noticed that whenever I do:

setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF....)

followed by

getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF....)

to verify what the kernel has set, I read TWICE as much the amount used
for the set. That is, if I set 8192, I read 16384. Therefore, to set
the correct size, I need to half the parameter first.

Is this a known bug? Is it setsockopt or getsockopt which returns the
wrong size?

Here's sample code demonstrating the problem:

--------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>

static void set_send_buf(int fd, int size)
{
int new_len;
int arglen = sizeof(new_len);

if (-1 == setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &size, sizeof(size)))
perror("setsockopt");

if (-1 == getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &new_len, &arglen))
perror("getsockopt");

printf("size was %d, but set %d\n", size, new_len);
}

main()
{
int fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

set_send_buf(fd, 8192);
set_send_buf(fd, 16384);
}
--------------------------

When run, it displays:

size was 8192, but set 16384
size was 16384, but set 32768
