[ Cc'ing John, Daniel, et al ]

Btw, while I just looked at scm_detach_fds(), I think commits ...

  * 48a87cc26c13 ("net: netprio: fd passed in SCM_RIGHTS datagram not set correctly")
  * d84295067fc7 ("net: net_cls: fd passed in SCM_RIGHTS datagram not set correctly")

... might not be correct, maybe I'm missing something ...? Lets say process A
has a socket fd that it sends via SCM_RIGHTS to process B. Process A was the
one that called sk_alloc() originally. Now in scm_detach_fds() we install a new
fd for process B pointing to the same sock (file's private_data) and above commits
update the cached socket cgroup data for net_cls/net_prio to the new process B.
So, if process A for example still sends data over that socket, skbs will then
wrongly match on B's cgroup membership instead of A's, no?

Thanks,
Daniel
