Thank you for this report.

pipe is part of fs, not net ;)

AF_UNIX bind() vs. socketpair() interplay, OTOH...

FWIW, BSD folks unlock the socket for the duration of mknod - mark it as
"somebody's trying to bind it" to avoid the fun with racing double bind(),
but that's about it.  Tempting, to be honest...

BTW, why does unix_autobind() do allocation under ->readlock?  The allocation
will be normally used - that if (u->addr) return; part is just dealing with
an unlikely race, as far as I can see...

Hello,

This is still happening periodically for me. Is there a proposed fix?
I could test it.

No, we currently have no fix for that report. :/
