Doing this will return an IOException with a consistent detail message on all platforms. If we do not do this, and leave it to convertReturnVal, then an IOException will still be raised, but it may have a different detail message on different platforms. I don't have a strong preference either way.

This is exactly the point: this approach gives complete consistency across all platforms but at the expense of a little extra code complexity.

I ported the previously proposed 8u60 patch to JDK 9 and will post a new RFR for it. The discussion about whether to modify SocketChannelImpl may be continued in that thread.

Thanks,

Brian
