epoll_wait收到未知事件

Question

I have written a simple TCP server socket and added the fd to the epoll_cntl . After the client is connected, the accept fd is also added to the epoll_cntl .

When the client is closed, I am receiving an unknown event through epoll_wait . epoll event is receiving an event as 5 (kindly grep for the string "Issue seen here" in the code below.

Can someone help me out in understanding, why the epoll is receiving such an event?

Here's my code:

int ControllerTask()
{
    int retval = 0;
    int res = 0;
    static struct epoll_event ev;

    g_epfd = epoll_create1(0);

    /* Create TCP Server Socket */
    retval = createTcpServerSock();
    if(retval < 0)
    {
        return 0;
    }
    ev.events = EPOLLIN | EPOLLOUT | EPOLLPRI | EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP | EPOLLET;
    ev.data.fd = g_server_fd[0];
    res = epoll_ctl(g_epfd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, g_server_fd[0], &ev);
    acceptIncomingData();
}

int createTcpServerSock()
{
    int retval = -1;
    struct sockaddr_in addr;
    int sockOpt = 0;
    int reuse = 1;
    do
    {
        if((g_server_fd[0] = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == 0)
        {
            perror("sock_failed");
            return 0;
        }

        sockOpt = fcntl(g_server_fd[0], F_GETFL);
        if(sockOpt < 0)
            break;

        sockOpt |= O_NONBLOCK;

        if (fcntl(g_server_fd[0], F_SETFL, sockOpt) < 0)
            break;

        if ((retval = setsockopt(g_server_fd[0], SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (const char*)&reuse, sizeof(reuse))) < 0)
            break;

        if ((retval = setsockopt(g_server_fd[0], SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, (const char*)&reuse, sizeof(reuse))) < 0)
            break;

        memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr));
        addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
        addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
        addr.sin_port = htons(7000);


        if(bind(g_server_fd[0], (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr)) < 0)
        {
            perror("bind failed");
            break;
        }

        listen(g_server_fd[0], SOMAXCONN);

        retval = 0;
    }while(0);

    return retval;
}

Answer 1

The events field is a bitmask. EPOLLIN is 1. EPOLLOUT is 4. Therefore EPOLLIN | EPOLLOUT EPOLLIN | EPOLLOUT is 5.

So the file descriptor is both readable and writable.
