phosphor-net-ipmid: connect with the correct sockaddr size
Abstract unix sockets start with the nul-charater, but are not nul terminated. In fact, the nul-character has no meaning in the path. According to the man page unix(7), abstract: an abstract socket address is distinguished (from a pathname socket) by the fact that sun_path[0] is a null byte ('\0'). The socket's address in this namespace is given by the additional bytes in sun_path that are covered by the specified length of the address structure. (Null bytes in the name have no special significance.) This means that when calling bind/connect, the size of the sockaddr structure is not sizeof(sockaddr_un), it is sizeof(sockaddr_un) - sizeof(sun_path) + (path_len) Change-Id: I61f967d9215afb00e9e5c22f535f5c252b41d3af Signed-off-by: Vernon Mauery <vernon.mauery@linux.intel.com>
