Description:
Connector/C will invoke the system call close() twice on the file descriptor if the server isn't running.
This would be a serious problem if Connector/C is used in a multi-threaded program, since the second close() may close file descriptor created by other threads.

All of the following are based on the source code of the "Generic Linux (Architecture Independent), Compressed TAR Archive" version 6.1.0

The first close() call is at:
sql-common/client.c:3518: closesocket(sock);

backtrace of the second close() call is:
#0  inline_mysql_socket_close (mysql_socket=...)
    at /home/hoolala/workspace/search/third_party/mysql-connector-c-6.1.0-src/include/mysql/psi/mysql_socket.h:1099

How to repeat:
Trying connecting any TCP port which isn't listened by any process through mysql_real_connect(). Don't set any fancy options.

Suggested fix:
Remove the first closesocket() ? I'm not sure ;p

At first glance it looks like mysql_real_connect() should not call closesocket() when passing control to 'error' label and vio is already initialized with successfully created socket.

end_server(mysql) call which goes just after the 'error' label will free socket descriptor stored in vio structure.

mysql_real_connect() could close a file descriptor twice if the
server was not running.

    Bug #19226740   DOUBLE CLOSE() ON THE SAME FILE DESCRIPTOR INSIDE MYSQL_REAL_CONNECT()
    
    In mysql_real_connect() when vio_socket_connect() fails we already have socket handle stored in net->vio. That means we should not explicitly call closesocket() at the end of the address list loop.
    
    If this is the last iteration of the loop then the code after the loop will pass control to the error label and end_server() call will close socket and free net->vio.
    
    If there will be another iteration of the loop then vio_reset() will be called with the new socket handle. Note that at the moment of vio_reset() call net->vio still owns the socket handle created on 
    
    Unfortunately vio_reset() did not close socket stored in Vio structure. This is why the patch makes following changes in vio_reset():
    - If new socket handle passed to vio_reset() is not equal to the socket handle stored in Vio then socket handle will be closed before storing new value. If handles are equal then old socket is not clo
    - If any error occurs then new vio_reset() implementation will not alter any Vio members thus preserving socket handle stored in Vio and not taking ownership over socket handle passed as parameter. Wi

    >  }
    
    If no error occurs then vio_reset() closes handle stored in net->vio and then stores new handle there. Otherwise explicit closesocket() call closes new handle and then control is passed to error label
