Subject: [PATCH 0/8] {unix,socket,bind}.7: General Unix Domain Socket fixes
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 23:07:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021210800.27338-2-gnoack3000@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello!
This is patch set (A) spun off from the "Documentation fixes in
unix(7)" patch set [1], which is now split into these three parts:
(A) Miscellaneous fixes, mostly in unix.7, one in socket.7 <-- this one
(B) Socket options and Socket-level Control Messages (SCM_*)
(C) sock_diag.7
This patch set fixes miscellaneous inaccuracies and documents missing
error codes. It applies cleanly on the current "master".
Thank you for your reviews on v1 and v2 of the still-joined patch set.
Compared to v2, the following things happened:
* Some commit message rewording (especially quoted the kernel code
more directly).
* In the Abstract UDS scoping commit below, reworded the subsequent
paragraph sligthly to avoid confusion with the "namespace"
terminology being used differently in adjacent paragraphs.
* I removed the commit that changed the wording about Out-of-Band
messaging, per Kuniyuki's suggestion in [2].
This patch set has been produced with the help of a LLM, which was
helpful for spotting a long list of inaccuracies, comparing the
documentation with the kernel implementation. (More details in [1])
