Adds Detached::from_listener_fd(OwnedFd). Until now, adopting a listening socket on macOS/BSD didn't work: from_fd detects a listener with SO_ACCEPTCONN, which Linux supports and macOS does not (it returns ENOPROTOOPT). So on kqueue platforms an adopted listener became a stream and could never accept. This matters to Perry for listeners a host binds itself or receives from a cluster primary.

  • The new constructor goes through the existing classify_hint(fd, true) path, which is already used for listeners received over IPC. On epoll the kernel still decides.
  • It refuses, with InvalidInput, anything that is not a stream socket or that has a peer.
  • from_fd's docs point kqueue callers at the new constructor.
  • Additive only: no existing signature changes.

Tests (crates/turnloop-contract/tests/adopt_listener.rs, Unix): TCP and Unix-domain listeners bound outside turnloop are adopted, and each accepts a connection and reads its bytes; a connected socket and a file are refused. With the constructor routed back to from_fd, all three fail on macOS.

Local checks: fmt, workspace clippy (macOS, plus a cross-check against the Linux target for turnloop and turnloop-contract), rustdoc, and the new tests on macOS.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for adopting already-listening TCP and Unix-domain sockets created by the host. Invalid inputs, including connected sockets and files, are rejected.
    • On systems using kqueue, connected sockets adopted through the general stream-socket method may be treated as streams. Use the listener-specific method for listening sockets; bound sockets that have not started listening cannot be identified as listeners.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for adopting TCP and Unix-domain listeners and rejecting invalid inputs.

Detached::from_fd recognises a listener only where the kernel answers
SO_ACCEPTCONN. Linux does; macOS and the BSDs do not (macOS returns
ENOPROTOOPT), so on kqueue an adopted listener was classified as a TCP
stream and could never accept. A host that binds its own listener, or
receives one from another process (a cluster primary handing over its
listening socket), had no way to use it on a Mac.

Detached::from_listener_fd takes the caller's word that the descriptor is
a listener, through the existing classify_hint(fd, true) path that turnloop
already uses for listeners it receives over IPC. On epoll the kernel still
decides. A descriptor that is not a stream socket, or that has a peer (a
listener never does), is refused with InvalidInput. from_fd's docs now point
kqueue callers at the new constructor.

The contract test binds TCP and Unix-domain listeners outside turnloop,
adopts them, and asserts the loop accepts a connection and reads its bytes;
a third case checks a connected socket and a file are refused. With
from_listener_fd routed back to from_fd, all three fail on macOS.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds Detached::from_listener_fd for adopting an already-listening TCP or Unix stream socket. The method classifies the descriptor and rejects unsupported types. Integration tests cover accepted connections and invalid descriptors on supported Unix targets.

Changes

Listener descriptor adoption

Layer / File(s) Summary
Listener adoption API and classification
crates/turnloop/src/backend/unix.rs, crates/turnloop/src/backend/ipc.rs
Adds Detached::from_listener_fd, which delegates listener classification to classify_listener. On kqueue, connected descriptors are rejected, and the documentation notes that bound sockets that have not called listen cannot be detected.
Adoption integration tests
crates/turnloop-contract/tests/adopt_listener.rs
Tests adopting TCP and Unix listeners, accepting a connection and reading its byte, and rejecting a connected socket and a file.

The listener-adoption path has two narrow validation gaps. They should be fixed, but the documented listener-adoption workflow remains mergeable with owner awareness.

Do not treat every getpeername failure as “no peer.”

On kqueue, getpeername can fail with ENOBUFS, not only ENOTCONN. If that happens for a connected stream and getsockname then succeeds, the listener hint makes from_listener_fd accept a socket that cannot accept connections. Propagate unexpected inspection errors. Keep the existing non-socket rejection path. (developer.apple.com)

Return InvalidInput for unsupported socket types.

On Linux, an AF_UNIX datagram reaches the unmatched socket-type branch in classify_hint. That branch returns Unsupported before this function can reject the descriptor as InvalidInput. This breaks the documented error contract for non-stream sockets. Map that classification mismatch to InvalidInput here, and add a datagram test. Preserve errors from failed system calls. (man7.org)
