Yes, do look at that. From the latest 2.6 sources:
timeo = sock_sndtimeo(sk, flags & O_NONBLOCK);
if ((1 << sk->sk_state) & (TCPF_SYN_SENT | TCPF_SYN_RECV)) {
/* Error code is set above */
if (!timeo || !inet_wait_for_connect(sk, timeo))
goto out;
err = sock_intr_errno(timeo);
if (signal_pending(current))
goto out;
}
If the socket is non-blocking, then we don't call
inet_wiat_for_connect(), yes. But sock_intr_errno() will set the
error code to -EINTR if the socket is set to non-nonblocking (see
include/net/sock.h), and if a signal is pending, return it.
