Hi Konstantin,

I'm seeing a problem on s390 with the new "SOCK_STREAM transport change null-ptr-deref" test. Here is how it appears to happen:

test_stream_transport_change_client() spins for 2s and sends 70K+ CONTROL_CONTINUE messages to the "control" socket.

test_stream_transport_change_server() spins calling accept() because it keeps receiving CONTROL_CONTINUE.

When the client exits, the server has received just under 1K of those 70K CONTROL_CONTINUE, so it calls accept() again but the client has exited, so accept() never returns and the server never exits.


Thanks for pointing this out!
I had an offline discussion with Stefano about this issue.
This patch[1] should address it.
Please let us know if it works on s390 too.

Cheers,
Luigi

I've run it 40 times with this patch, and it seems OK now. You can add my "Tested-by" if you wish.
