====================
af_unix: Replace unix_table_lock with per-hash locks.
The hash table of AF_UNIX sockets is protected by a single big lock,
unix_table_lock. This series replaces it with small per-hash locks.
1st - 2nd : Misc refactoring
3rd - 8th : Separate BSD/abstract address logics
9th - 11th : Prep to save a hash in each socket
12th : Replace the big lock
13th : Speed up autobind()
Note to maintainers:
The 12th patch adds two kinds of Sparse warnings on patchwork:
about unix_table_double_lock/unlock()
We can avoid this by adding two apparent acquires/releases annotations,
but there are the same kinds of warnings about unix_state_double_lock().
about unix_next_socket() and unix_seq_stop() (/proc/net/unix)
This is because Sparse does not understand logic in unix_next_socket(),
which leaves a spin lock held until it returns NULL.
Also, tcp_seq_stop() causes a warning for the same reason.
These warnings seem reasonable, but let me know if there is any better way.
Please see [0] for details.

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.
