From 118f457da9ed58a79e24b73c2ef0aa1987241f0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kuniyuki Iwashima Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2024 10:31:25 -0700 Subject: af_unix: Remove lock dance in unix_peek_fds(). 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.
