Subject: [PATCH] unix.7: Add a description for ENFILE.
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2021 10:38:41 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210929013841.1694-1-kuniyu@amazon.co.jp> (raw)

When creating UNIX domain sockets, the kernel used to return -ENOMEM on
error where it should return -ENFILE.  The behaviour has been wrong since
2.2.4 and fixed in the recent commit f4bd73b5a950 ("af_unix: Return errno
instead of NULL in unix_create1().").
