Hi,

my box 100% crashes when booting. It's both in unix socket recv and send 
paths. I've reverted 0856a30409 (Scm: Remove unnecessary pid & 
credential references in Unix socket's send and receive path) and it 
seems to help.

The oops:

I was seeing a 100% repeatable crash with the X server starting as well, but
wasn't able to get a traceback because my X server was doing the modeset before
it crashed (so all I got was a black screen) and netconsole is busticated for
me.  I can confirm that reverting that one commit allows my box to boot and get
X up and running as well.

Yes, Jiri's log does indicate that something went wrong when releasing
the skb, most likely due to changes in the pid and credentials ref
count.  Unfortunately, I cannot duplicate the problem on my system.  Any
info on your system to help me debug will be appreciated.  I'll try to
take another look at the patch tomorrow.
