Indeed? And how, pray tell, do you handle e.g. processes A and B sending
SCM_RIGHTS datagrams to C at the same moment? With data part containing
the indication which process had sent them, so C can handle them just
fine and do that in different ways depending on the origin of datagram.
Note that looking at the timestamps will not help you at all - you can
get
A enters sendmsg(2)
B enters sendmsg(2)
B puts datagram into queue
A puts datagram into queue
A leaves sendmsg(2)
B leaves sendmsg(2)
quite easily.
