Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] tcp, udp: Make {tcp,udp}_listen() return socket fds
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 14:06:14 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113030614.29309-3-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260113030614.29309-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

{tcp,udp}_listen() currently return 0 on success, rather than the socket
fd they created.  Historically, that was because these functions could
sometimes create multiple sockets.  We've now refactored things to avoid
that, so it makes more sense for them to return the socket on success.
