Please format your patch submission properly.

This Author: and Date: should not be here in the commit message.

The "net: Add UNIX_DIAG_UID to Netlink UNIX socket diagnostics." should
be exclusively in your Subject line.

And:

>         unshare -U -r bash
>         nc -l -U user.socket.$$ &

>    .. and verify from within that same session that Netlink UNIX socket
>    diagnostics report the socket's UID as 0. Also verify that Netlink UNIX
>    socket diagnostics report the socket's UID as the user's UID from an

This is all unnecessarily indented.

I know what you did, you took something like "git show" output and
just posted it to the list here.

But that's not what you're supposed to do.

Thanks.
