Okay, but I think we should do also for SEQPACKET:

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696699/functions/xsh_chap02_10.html

In 2.10.6 Socket Types:

"The SOCK_SEQPACKET socket type is similar to the SOCK_STREAM type, and
is also connection-oriented. The only difference between these types is
that record boundaries ..."

Then in 2.10.14 Signals:

"The SIGPIPE signal shall be sent to a thread that attempts to send data
on a socket that is no longer able to send. In addition, the send
operation fails with the error [EPIPE]."

It's honestly not super clear, but I assume the problem is similar with
seqpacket since it's connection-oriented, or did I miss something?

For example in sctp_sendmsg() IIUC we raise a SIGPIPE regardless of
whether the socket is STREAM or SEQPACKET.

I'm okay calling this function.

Do you mean that it is NOT related to this patchset?

Thanks,
