Subject: [PATCH v6.6 14/26] af_unix: Fix up unix_edge.successor for embryo socket.

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@...zon.com>

[ Upstream commit dcf70df2048d27c5d186f013f101a4aefd63aa41 ]

To garbage collect inflight AF_UNIX sockets, we must define the
cyclic reference appropriately.  This is a bit tricky if the loop
consists of embryo sockets.

Suppose that the fd of AF_UNIX socket A is passed to D and the fd B
to C and that C and D are embryo sockets of A and B, respectively.
It may appear that there are two separate graphs, A (-> D) and
B (-> C), but this is not correct.

     A --. .-- B
          X
     C <-' `-> D

Now, D holds A's refcount, and C has B's refcount, so unix_release()
will never be called for A and B when we close() them.  However, no
one can call close() for D and C to free skbs holding refcounts of A
and B because C/D is in A/B's receive queue, which should have been
purged by unix_release() for A and B.

So, here's another type of cyclic reference.  When a fd of an AF_UNIX
socket is passed to an embryo socket, the reference is indirectly held
by its parent listening socket.

  .-> A                            .-> B
  |   `- sk_receive_queue          |   `- sk_receive_queue
  |      `- skb                    |      `- skb
  |         `- sk == C             |         `- sk == D
  |            `- sk_receive_queue |           `- sk_receive_queue
  |               `- skb +---------'               `- skb +-.
  |                                                         |
  `---------------------------------------------------------'

Technically, the graph must be denoted as A <-> B instead of A (-> D)
and B (-> C) to find such a cyclic reference without touching each
socket's receive queue.

  .-> A --. .-- B <-.
  |        X        |  ==  A <-> B
  `-- C <-' `-> D --'

We apply this fixup during GC by fetching the real successor by
unix_edge_successor().

When we call accept(), we clear unix_sock.listener under unix_gc_lock
not to confuse GC.
