There are a number of ways the existing transport connect logic in trans_connect could be improved for POSIX compatibility, and also slightly tidied up:- 1) The same socket is re-used for multiple connect attempts following failure which isn't behaviour defined by POSIX.1-2017 (although it works on Linux). 2) An asynchronous connect is started, and then after a short delay connect() is called again on the same socket. POSIX.1-2017 is clear that in this situation EALREADY is returned before the connection is established, but is silent on the behaviour expected when the connection is established. Returning success is an option, but so is returning EISCONN. The current code assumes the connect() call will succeed. 3) The code contains two virtually identical, quite complex loops for TCP and UNIX sockets, differing only in the calls to create a socket and connect it. 4) trans_connect() contains looping and retry logic, but this isn't seen as sufficient by the chansrv connect code in xrdp/xrdp_mm.c and the Xorg connect code in xup/xup.c. Both of these implement their own looping and retry logic on top of the logic in trans_connect(), resulting in slightly unpredictable behaviour with regard to timeouts. 5) A socket number can technically be zero, but in a couple of places this isn't allowed for. This PR attempts to correct the implementation of trans_connect(), and also to simplify the areas it is called from. As part of the PR, the signature of the server_is_term member of the xrdp module interface is changed to match the signature expected by the is_term member of a struct trans. This allows for trans_connect() in xrdp modules to directly access g_is_term() within the main xrdp executable. At the moment this functionality is only used by the xup module. |
