Subject: [PATCH 1/2] af_unix: don't post cmsg for SO_INQ unless explicitly asked for
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 07:59:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251218150114.250048-2-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251218150114.250048-1-axboe@kernel.dk>

A previous commit added SO_INQ support for AF_UNIX (SOCK_STREAM), but
it posts a SCM_INQ cmsg even if just msg->msg_get_inq is set. This is
incorrect, as ->msg_get_inq is just the caller asking for the remainder
to be passed back in msg->msg_inq, it has nothing to do with cmsg. The
original commit states that this is done to make sockets
io_uring-friendly", but it's actually incorrect as io_uring doesn't
use cmsg headers internally at all, and it's actively wrong as this
means that cmsg's are always posted if someone does recvmsg via
io_uring.

Fix that up by only posting cmsg if u->recvmsg_inq is set.
