Recently, our friends from bluetooth subsystem reported [1] that after
commit 5e2ff6704a27 ("scm: add SO_PASSPIDFD and SCM_PIDFD") scm_recv()
helper become unusable in kernel modules (because it uses unexported
pidfd_prepare() API).
We were aware of this issue and workarounded it in a hard way
by commit 97154bcf4d1b ("af_unix: Kconfig: make CONFIG_UNIX bool").
But recently a new functionality was added in the scope of commit
817efd3cad74 ("Bluetooth: hci_sock: Forward credentials to monitor")
and after that bluetooth can't be compiled as a kernel module.
After some discussion in [1] we decided to split scm_recv() into
two helpers, one won't support SCM_PIDFD (used for unix sockets),
and another one will be completely the same as it was before commit
5e2ff6704a27 ("scm: add SO_PASSPIDFD and SCM_PIDFD").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
