Hi James et al,
I just came back from holidays and got this bug report in Debian. (Seems
like IBM is using OpenVPN). I didn't have time to look at it yet, but
I'm sure you'll handle it better anyway :)
Best regards,
Alberto

Subject: Bug#158404: openvpn: Improper error handling
List-Post: openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 17:28:37 -0400
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-4.5 required=5.0 tests=SENT_BY_BTS,FORGED_RCVD_FOUND
version=2.20
Package: openvpn
Version: 1.3.0-1
Severity: important
I often get a flood of these messages:
openvpn[1239]: read from UDP: Resource temporarily unavailable (errno=11)
The condition persists for a bit, and then clears up... While the errors
are occuring, occasionally the session will drop ;(
It seems to be improper handling of EAGAIN !
The potential solutions would most likely be:
1) re-try the systemcall
2) redrive the read loop
3) set blocking IO
