Subject: [PATCH 5/7] listener: emit warnings on EPERM
Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2021 18:20:43 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211024002045.17755-6-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211024002045.17755-1-e@80x24.org>

In retrospect, warnings for EPERM on accept4(2) failure may
help detect misconfigured firewalls, so start emitting warnings
for EPERM.  Fwiw, I've never known excessive EPERM warnings
to be excessively noisy in other TCP services I've run over
the years.
