Dmitry has reported that a BUG_ON() condition in unix_notinflight() may be triggered by a simple code that forwards unix socket in an SCM_RIGHTS message. That is caused by incorrect unix socket GC implementation in unix_gc(). The GC first collects list of candidates, then (a) decrements their "children's" inflight counter, (b) checks which inflight counters are now 0, and then (c) increments all inflight counters back. (a) and (c) are done by calling scan_children() with inc_inflight or dec_inflight as the second argument. Commit 6209344f5a37 ("net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collector") changed scan_children() such that it no longer considers sockets that do not have UNIX_GC_CANDIDATE flag. It also added a block of code that that unsets this flag _before_ invoking scan_children(, dec_iflight, ). This may lead to incorrect inflight counters for some sockets. This change fixes this bug by changing order of operations: UNIX_GC_CANDIDATE is now unset only after all inflight counters are restored to the original state. kernel BUG at net/unix/garbage.c:149!

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
