Fix thinko when deciding whether to disable TCP's Nagle algorithm
689258
689258
This patch fixes a thinko that happened when I was implementing the
689258
IPv6 support on GDB/gdbserver.  On certain situations, it is necessary
689258
to disable TCP's Nagle algorithm (NODELAY).  For obvious reasons, this
689258
only applies when we are dealing with a TCP connection.
689258
689258
While implementing the IPv6 patch, I noticed that the net_open
689258
function (on gdb/ser-tcp.c) kept a flag indicating whether the
689258
connection type was UDP or TCP.  I eliminated that flag, and started
689258
using the 'struct addrinfo *' related to the successful connection
689258
directly.  However, I made a mistake:
689258
689258
  if (success_ainfo->ai_socktype == IPPROTO_TCP)
689258
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^
689258
    {
689258
      /* Disable Nagle algorithm.  Needed in some cases.  */
689258
      int tmp = 1;
689258
689258
      setsockopt (scb->fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY,
689258
		  (char *) &tmp, sizeof (tmp));
689258
    }
689258
689258
The 'ai_socktype' field specifies the socket type (SOCK_STREAM or
689258
SOCK_DGRAM), and not the protocol.  This test was always failing, and
689258
the Nagle algorithm was never being disabled.
689258
689258
The obvious fix is to use the 'ai_protocol' field.  This is what this
689258
patch does.
689258
689258
Huge "thank you" to Joel Brobecker who reported the regression (he was
689258
experiencing an unusual delay while debugging a bare-metal program
689258
running under QEMU) and helped me set up a proper reproducer for the
689258
bug.
