2012-02-04Fix port leaking after controlling_process(Port, self())Ricardo
Add case to handle the situation when someone call {gen_tcp,gen_udp}:controlling_process(Port, self()). Also improve spec and doc from gen_udp and gen_sctp for controlling_process/2. To reproduce the issue, open an UDP port: 4> {ok,Port} = gen_udp:open(9000, [binary]). {ok,#Port<0.587>} 5> gen_udp:controlling_process(Port, self()). ok Simulate error: 6> 1=2. ** exception error: no match of right hand side value 2 Here is the leak: 7> inet:i(). Port Module Recv Sent Owner Local Address Foreign Address State Type 581 inet_udp 0 0 <0.31.0> *:cslistener *:* BOUND DGRAM ok
2012-01-04Fix returned error from gen_tcp:accept/1,2 when running out of portsPer Hedeland
The {error, enfile} return value is badly misleading and confusing for this case, since the Posix ENFILE errno value has a well-defined meaning that has nothing to do with Erlang ports. The fix changes the return value to {error, system_limit}, which is consistent with e.g. various file(3) functions. inet:format_error/1 has also been updated to support system_limit in the same manner as file:format_error/1.

2011-12-06erts: Remove truncation of http packet parsing and return error insteadSverker Eriksson
This is a slight modification of previous commit by Steve Vinoski For backward compatibility of old users of decode_packet, I think it's enough to return error instead of keeping the old line truncation behaviour.

2011-12-02Expand sendfile documentationLukas Larsson
2011-11-29Implement file:sendfileTuncer Ayaz
Allow Erlang code to use sendfile() where available by wrapping it as file:sendfile/4 and file:sendfile/2. sendfile(2) - Linux man page: "sendfile() copies data between one file descriptor and another. Because this copying is done within the kernel, sendfile() is more efficient than the combination of read(2) and write(2), which would require transferring data to and from user space."
