This has also come up in the context of SO_ZEROCOPY in the past. In my
opinion the answer is no. A quick grep | wc -l in net/ shows 99
matches for this error code. Only a fraction of those probably make it
to userspace, but definitely more than this single case.

If anything, it may be time to define it in uapi?

Even if changing the error code, EOPNOTSUPP is arguably a better
replacement. The request itself is valid. Also considering forward
compatibility.

(there is a v2, in case you missed)

No opinion but FWIW I'm toying with some CI for netdev, I've added a
check for use of ENOTSUPP, apparently checkpatch already sniffs out
uses of ENOSYS, so seems appropriate to add this one.

For the case TLS version case?

Thanks. I meant to respond to your comment. (but should have done sooner :)

Good idea if not exposing this in UAPI.

Yes. It's a more specific signal. Quite a few error paths already return EINVAL.

I'm trying to understand this part of the discussion.

If we have been returning a non-valid error code, this 524 internal
kernel thing, it is _NOT_ an exposed UAPI.

It is a kernel bug and we should fix it.

If userspace anywhere is checking for 524, that is what needs to be fixed.

Do we agree on this point?

I agree. We should just fix this.

As Willem points out the use of this error code has spread, but in
theory I'm a co-maintainer of the TLS code now, and my maintainer 
gut says "just fix it" :)

> If userspace anywhere is checking for 524, that is what needs to be fixed.

FWIW I did a quick grep through openssl and gnutls and fbthrift and I
see no references to ENOTSUPP or 524.

Valentin, what's the strategy you're using for this fix? There's a
bunch of ENOTSUPP in net/tls/tls_sw.c as well, could you convert those,
too?

Yes I see those as well, let's get them all in one patch ok?
