[PATCH net-next v2 1/6] af_unix: rework unix_maybe_add_creds() to allow sleep
From: Alexander Mikhalitsyn
Date: Tue Jul 01 2025 - 04:40:43 EST
As a preparation for the next patches we need to allow sleeping
in unix_maybe_add_creds() and also return err. Currently, we can't do
that as unix_maybe_add_creds() is being called under unix_state_lock().
There is no need for this, really. So let's move call sites of
this helper a bit and do necessary function signature changes.
