Hi Ying, Unfortunately, the 'tipc_wait_for_cond()' macro is not applicable here... It's for the sendmsg() cases only which expects the socket in the 'ESTABLISHED' state first, otherwise it will return '- ENOTCONN' (see the 'tipc_sk_sock_err()'). Of course, we could adjust it for the case but looks not so good..., so I have decided to keep the function and just change the wait condition to 'tipc_sk_connected()'. Please see the patch v2 I just sent out.

But I think it's better to return the error attached on 'sk->sk_err' to user because it can really reflect why connect() is failed. > I will send the patch v2 for your review. > > BR/Tuong > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tuong Lien Tong <tuong.t.l...@dektech.com.au> > Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2019 5:39 PM > To: 'Ying Xue' <ying....@windriver.com>; > tipc-discussion@lists.sourceforge.net; jon.ma...@ericsson.com; > ma...@donjonn.com > Subject: Re: [tipc-discussion] [net] tipc: fix wrong connect() return code > > What about this? > > diff --git a/net/tipc/socket.c b/net/tipc/socket.c > index 6ebd809ef207..04f035bcc272 100644 > --- a/net/tipc/socket.c > +++ b/net/tipc/socket.c > @@ -2446,7 +2446,7 @@ static int tipc_wait_for_connect(struct socket *sock, > long *timeo_p) > done = sk_wait_event(sk, timeo_p, > sk->sk_state != TIPC_CONNECTING, > &wait); > remove_wait_queue(sk_sleep(sk), &wait); > - } while (!done); > + } while (!tipc_sk_connected(sk)); > return 0; > } > > BR/Tuong > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ying Xue <ying....@windriver.com> > Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2019 2:55 PM > To: Tuong Lien Tong <tuong.t.l...@dektech.com.au>; > tipc-discussion@lists.sourceforge.net; jon.ma...@ericsson.com; > ma...@donjonn.com > Subject: Re: [net] tipc: fix wrong connect() return code > > On 12/26/19 3:16 PM, Tuong Lien Tong wrote: >> Sorry, my mistake!
