Kuniyuki Iwashima 61a75360dc af_unix: Remove lock dance in unix_peek_fds(). 
commit 118f457da9 upstream.

In the previous GC implementation, the shape of the inflight socket
graph was not expected to change while GC was in progress.

MSG_PEEK was tricky because it could install inflight fd silently
and transform the graph.

Let's say we peeked a fd, which was a listening socket, and accept()ed
some embryo sockets from it.  The garbage collection algorithm would
have been confused because the set of sockets visited in scan_inflight()
would change within the same GC invocation.

That's why we placed spin_lock(&unix_gc_lock) and spin_unlock() in
unix_peek_fds() with a fat comment.

In the new GC implementation, we no longer garbage-collect the socket
if it exists in another queue, that is, if it has a bridge to another
SCC.  Also, accept() will require the lock if it has edges.

Thus, we need not do the complicated lock dance.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
