Fix: LPOLLHUP and LPOLLERR when there is still data in pipe/socket
The event mask returned by poll/epoll is a bitwise mask made of all the
events observed. On bidirectional sockets, there are cases where
combinations of LPOLLHUP/LPOLLERR and LPOLLIN/LPOLLPRI can be raised at
the same time.
Currently the overall behavior in sessiond, consumerd and relayd is to
handle LPOLLHUP or LPOLLERR immediately, whether or not there is still
data to read in the socket. Unfortunately, this behavior may discard the
last information made available on the pipe or socket.
Audit all uses of LPOLLHUP and LPOLLERR on sockets on which we expect
data to ensure that we deal with LPOLLIN or LPOLLPRI, and catch the
hangup when read or recvmsg returns 0. Keep the LPOLLHUP and LPOLLERR
handling, but only when LPOLLIN is not raised, just in case some
unforeseen error happens when sending the reply.
This is one correct case where we can handle LPOLLHUP and LPOLLERR
directly without caring about LPOLLIN: sockets where we are expected to
write and then read the reply (e.g. command sockets). It is then OK
for a dedicated thread to watch for LPOLLHUP and LPOLLERR.
