Bug 211430: devel/apr1:  IPv6 to IPv4 fallback does not work in serf
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D211430



--- Description ---
Created attachment 173081
  --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D173081&action=
=3Dedit
patch to modify apr1 poll() emulation to match behavior expected by serf.

serf depends on the poll emulation in apr returning a POLLERR event if a
non-blocking connect() attempt fails in order to trigger an IPv6 -> IPv4
fallback, or a fallback to another address for a multi-homed host.  On Free=
BSD,
the poll emulation is done using kqueue, and the result returned by the pol=
l()
emulation is POLLIN + POLLHUP.

connect(4,{ AF_INET6 [xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::xxxx]:80 },28) ERR#36 'Operation=
 now
in progress'
gettimeofday({ 1469515046.979614 },0x0) 	 =3D 0 (0x0)
kevent(3,{ 4,EVFILT_READ,EV_ADD,0x0,0x0,0x805491300 },1,0x0,0,0x0) =3D 0 (0=
x0)
kevent(3,{ 4,EVFILT_WRITE,EV_ADD,0x0,0x0,0x805491300 },1,0x0,0,0x0) =3D 0 (=
0x0)
kevent(3,0x0,0,{ 4,EVFILT_READ,EV_EOF,NOTE_LOWAT|0x3c,0x0,0x805491300
4,EVFILT_WRITE,EV_EOF,NOTE_LOWAT|0x3c,0x8000,0x805491300 },32,{ 0.500000000=
 })
=3D 2 (0x2)

When serf sees this, it calls read(), which then fails with ECONNREFUSED (or
whatever), which is not even a documented read() errno value.

read(4,0x80549c064,8000)			 ERR#61 'Connection refused'

What that occurs, serf closes the socket an any other addresses are not tri=
ed.

The attached patch modifies apr to return what serf expects in the case of a
non-blocking connect() failure.  Unfortunately, I did not see an easy way of
handling ETIMEDOUT since that error can either be caused by connect failing=
 or
after the connection is established.  The poll emulation might need to
differentiate between those two cases.

This problem affects users of svn who don't have working IPv6 connectivity =
to
the FreeBSD svn servers.
