From: Miklos Szeredi Subject: af_unix: fix garbage collect vs. MSG_PEEK Gc assumes that in-flight sockets that don't have an external ref can't gain one while unix_gc_lock is held. That is true because unix_notinflight() will be called before detaching fds, which takes unix_gc_lock. Only MSG_PEEK was somehow overlooked. That one also clones the fds, also keeping them in the skb. But through MSG_PEEK an external reference can definitely be gained without ever touching unix_gc_lock.
