Since commit 77cbe1a6d873 ("af_unix: Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS."),
we can disable SCM_RIGHTS per socket, but it's not flexible.

This series allows us to implement more fine-grained filtering for
SCM_RIGHTS with BPF LSM.
My ability to review this over the weekend is limited due to device and 
network access, but I'll take a look next week.

That said, it would be good if you could clarify the "filtering" aspect of 
your comments; it may be obvious when I'm able to look at the full patchset 
in context, but the commit descriptions worry me that perhaps you are still 
intending on using the LSM framework to cut SCM_RIGHTS payloads from 
individual messages?  Blocking messages at send time if they contain 
SCM_RIGHTS is likely okay (pending proper implementation review), but 
modifying packets in flight in the LSM framework is not.

Also, a quick administrative note, I see you have marked this as 
"bpf-next", however given the diffstat of the proposed changes this 
patchset should go to Linus via the LSM tree and not the BPF tree.
