[vlc-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Work around/fix network issues on Android

[Hugo Beauzée-Luyssen]

Hi,

This small patchset aims at fixing recent regressions on Android where:
- Some ArmV8 devices are returning invalid sendmsg error results
- Some ArmV7 devices fail to use TCP_FASTOPEN and return an unexpected
  error

The sendmsg patch is ugly and I'm very open to alternatives, but as far as I
can see, the issue is in older devices kernel, and there's not much we
can do but doing our best to work around it.
I believe the MSG_FASTOPEN patch to be correct, even though one could
argue that MSG_FASTOPEN shouldn't be defined in the first place if the 
kernel doesn't support this feature. While I agree, we have to work with
what the Android NDK provides us with.
