net/tcp: don't accept a reset connection as connected (fixes send hang)
tcp_start_monitor() is called from accept() (net/inet/inet_sockif.c) for
each newly accepted connection.  When the peer had already closed the
connection before accept() ran, the monitor takes an early-return path so
that any read-ahead data buffered on the connection can still be drained;
it returns OK in that case.  accept() (net/socket/accept.c) then marks the
new socket _SF_CONNECTED unconditionally.

If the peer aborts the connection with an RST immediately after the
three-way handshake completes (for example any close with SO_LINGER
{1, 0}), the connection is moved to TCP_CLOSED with no buffered data, yet
accept() still hands back a socket that reports _SS_ISCONNECTED.  A
subsequent blocking send() on that socket passes the connected check,
registers a send callback and waits on its semaphore forever: the only
TCP_ABORT event was delivered before the callback existed, and no further
ACK, POLL or disconnect event is generated for a closed connection, so the
waiter is never woken.

Any server that writes before reading can hit this; the telnet daemon
(netutils/telnetd) is one example, where the accepted session task blocks
in send() and never completes.

Only return OK from the already-closed path when there is actually
read-ahead data to drain.  Otherwise the connection is dead, so fall
through to the -ENOTCONN return: accept() then fails cleanly instead of
handing back a socket wedged on a connection that will never make progress.
The graceful-close-with-pending-data case (the reason the OK path exists)
is preserved by the conn->readahead check.

Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).

For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.

Getting Started

First time on NuttX? Read the Getting Started guide! If you don't have a board available, NuttX has its own simulator that you can run on terminal.

Documentation

You can find the current NuttX documentation on the Documentation Page.

Alternatively, you can build the documentation yourself by following the Documentation Build Instructions.

The old NuttX documentation is still available in the Apache wiki.

Supported Boards

NuttX supports a wide variety of platforms. See the full list on the Supported Platforms page.
