We can do that more or less safely, since the parent is held locked all along. Yes, somebody might observe the object via dcache, only to have it disappear afterwards, but there's really no good way to prevent that. It won't race with other bind(2) or attempts to move the sucker elsewhere, or put something else in its place - locked parent prevents that.

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.
