Re: [PATCH] fix race in AF_UNIX

You are wrong.  Look in unix_release_sock():

	if (atomic_read(&unix_tot_inflight))
		unix_gc();		/* Garbage collect fds */


unix_tot_inflight is the number of AF_UNIX sockets currently being
transferred over some AF_UNIX sockets.

That means that just sending (non-unix socket) fds over unix sockets
will never invoke the gc.

That's what I meant, I'm sorry, I should have written unix socket
file descriptor to not leave any room for misinterpretation.
