Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 00/16] af_unix: Reimplment GC.
When we pass a file descriptor to an AF_UNIX socket via SCM_RIGTHS,
the underlying struct file of the inflight fd gets its refcount bumped.
If the fd is of an AF_UNIX socket, we need to track it in case it forms
cyclic references.
Let's say we send a fd of AF_UNIX socket A to B and vice versa and
close() both sockets.
When created, each socket's struct file initially has one reference.
After the fd exchange, both refcounts are bumped up to 2. Then, close()
decreases both to 1. From this point on, no one can touch the file/socket.
However, the struct file has one refcount and thus never calls the
release() function of the AF_UNIX socket.
That's why we need to track all inflight AF_UNIX sockets and run garbage
collection.
This series replaces the current GC implementation that locks each inflight
socket's receive queue and requires trickiness in other places.
The new GC does not lock each socket's queue to minimise its effect and
tries to be lightweight if there is no cyclic reference or no update in
the shape of the inflight fd graph.
The new implementation is based on Tarjan's Strongly Connected Components
algorithm, and we consider each inflight file descriptor of AF_UNIX sockets
as an edge in a directed graph.
If socket B has the fd of socket A, socket B holds refcount of A, and then
we consider it as A -> B.
For the details, please see each patch.
