[PATCH net-next 07/15] scm: allow AF_BUS sockets to send ancillary data

From: Vincent Sanders <hidden>
Date: 2012-06-29 16:46:36
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [sockets], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Kuniyuki Iwashima, Willem de Bruijn, Linus Torvalds

From: Javier Martinez Canillas <redacted>

Similar to UNIX domain sockets AF_BUS sockets support passing file
descriptors and process credentials which requires supporting passing
control messages.

The core socket level control messages processing requires extending
to allow sockets other than PF_UNIX to send SCM_RIGHTS type messages.
