From 5a0380a499ee3c0e8cbae96cb7c56c1f5f004fd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 16:13:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIAL when dest socket is NULL" This reverts commit df9817194cec367ecdad0fd4d0f9c019db0a2df9. The problem that the above patch was meant to address is that af_unix messages are not being coallesced because we are sending unnecesarry credentials. Not sending credentials in maybe_add_creds totally breaks unconnected unix domain sockets that wish to send credentails to other sockets. In practice this break some versions of udev because they receive a message and the sending uid is bogus so they drop the message. Reported-by: Sven Joachim Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
