To achieve that, the current approach does one of the following mechanisms: 1) Randomly brute force the port number until the bind() syscall succeeds. 2) Use a static port at compile time (randomly chosen too). This is not reliable and it results in an intermittent issue (test fails when the selected port is in use). ## Solution: Setting @addr->sin_port to zero on a bind() syscall lets the kernel choose a port number that is not in use. The caller then can know the port number to be bound by invoking a getsockname() syscall after bind() succeeds. Wrap this procedure in a new function called t_bind_ephemeral_port(). The selected port will be returned into @addr->sin_port, the caller can use it later to connect() or whatever they need. ## Patchset summary: There are 12 patches in this series, summary: 1) Patch #1 introduces a new helper function t_bind_ephemeral_port(). 2) Patch #2 to #6 get rid of the port number brute force mechanism. 3) Patch #7 to #12 stop using a static port number.
