This helper is used stream sockets yet.
All is simple: if non-NULL struct path was passed to unix_find_other(), then
vfs_path_lookup() is called instead of kern_path().
I'm having some trouble parsing the changelog. Maybe something like?:

unix sockets: add ability to look up using passed-in root

Export a unix_stream_connect_root() helper that allows a caller
to optionally pass in a root path, in which case the lookup will
be done relative to the given path instead of the current
working directory.

Yep, your variant is much better. Thanks.


I guess this is a question for the networking people, but: will it cause
problems to have sunrpc calling directly into the unix socket code?

(And if so, what would be the alternative: define some variant of
sockaddr_un that includes the root path? Something better?)

That was my first idea. But there are problems with this solution (add root path to sockaddr_un) :
1) sockaddr_un size will change. I don't know, how this will affect user-space. Of course, we can introduce something like:

struct sockaddr_un_kern {
struct sockaddr_un un;
struct path *path;
}

But even in this case we need to color this structure somehow (for example, set path to NULL for simple connect or bind call) . And to add this color, we have to separate sys_connect () from our sock->ops->connect() call. And I don't really know how to do it since we don't have any info about socket type in sys_connect () in hands. I.e. we have it, but then we have to add some specific UNIX socket logic to completely generic sys_connect () and sys_bind () .

--b.
