non-symmetric Unix dgram sockets and poll

From: Alban Crequy <hidden>

Hi,

I have 3 Unix dgram sockets (sockA, sockB, sockC):
- sockA is connected to sockB.
- sockB is connected to sockC.
- sockC is not connected.

SockA cannot send any message to sockB because net/unix/af_unix.c::unix_may_send()
prevents it. Is there any reason for that restriction?

If it was possible to send that message, unix_dgram_poll() on sockB could be in a
situation where it needs to add the current process in 2 different wait queues:
- sk_sleep(sk) for POLLIN (messages coming from sockA)
- &unix_sk(other)->peer_wait for POLLOUT (to send messages to sockC)

Is it correct?

Thanks,
Alban
