[PATCH] sockets: Use SOMAXCONN for Unix socket listen()


From: Eric Blake
Subject: [PATCH] sockets: Use SOMAXCONN for Unix socket listen()
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 16:20:18 -0600

Our default of a backlog of 1 connection is rather puny, particularly
for scenarios where we expect multiple listeners to connect (such as
qemu-nbd -e X).  For Unix sockets, there's no real harm in supporting
a larger backlog, and a definite benefit to the clients: at least on
Linux, a client trying to connect to a Unix socket with a backlog gets
an EAGAIN failure with no way to poll() for when the backlog is no
longer present short of sleeping an arbitrary amount of time before
retrying.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1925045 for a demonstration of where
our low backlog prevents libnbd from connecting as many parallel
clients as it wants.
