count is 0, wait for use count to drain before finishing the close.
This is necessary in order for multiple processes to safely share file
descriptor tables.
directories which aren't under the recipient's root.
Clean up of many error conditions involving descriptor passing, to
eliminate infinite loops, panics, premature garbage collection of
sockets, and descriptor leaks:
- Avoid letting unp_gc() see descriptors with a refcount of zero by
removing them from the socket's queue before releasing them.
- Avoid socket leak in PRU_ABORT (this will also gc descriptors queued
on a not-yet accepted socket when the accepting socket goes away).
- Put in block comment explaining how unp_gc() should work.
- Correctly manage unp_defer count so we don't get stuck in an infinite
loop with nothing to do.
- Don't tie MARK and DEFER bits so closely together.
- Mark descriptors queued on not-yet-accepted sockets as well.
- Don't call sorflush on non-socket, it doesn't work very well.
- Deal with discard of NULL file pointer.
- Hopefully cause GC to converge faster by only deferring sockets in
unp_mark().

enabled with the LOCAL_CREDS socket option on the listener. Semantics are
similar to BSD/OS's:
- Creds are available with first data on SOCK_STREAM, and with every datagram
on SOCK_DGRAM.
- It is not possible to forge credentials.
Different in that:
- Different credential data structure (ours does not rely on the format
of internal kernel data structures, and does not pass the login name).
- We can pass creds and file descriptors at the same time (this does not
work in BSD/OS).
Luke Mewburn <lukem@netbsd.org> gets credit for inspiring me to implement
this. :-)
socket names:
- In unp_setsockaddr() and unp_setpeeraddr(), if the socket name can't
fit into a single mbuf, allocate enough external storage space to
hold it.
- In unp_bind() and unp_connect(), perform a similar operation, but allocate
one extra byte, and ensure that the pathname is nul-terminated.
Many thanks to enami tsugutomo <enami@cv.sony.co.jp> for the sanity
checking.
fill the socket's creation time into the stat structure's st_[acm]time fields:
POSIX requires this behavior for pipe(2). N.B.: updating the st_[am]time fields
when reading/writing the pipe is neither required nor implemented, though.
