Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 03/10] net: reserve prefix
Date: Mon, 05 May 2025 13:13:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250505-work-coredump-socket-v3-3-e1832f0e1eae@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250505-work-coredump-socket-v3-0-e1832f0e1eae@kernel.org>
Add the reserved "linuxafsk/" prefix for AF_UNIX sockets and require
CAP_NET_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the network namespace to
bind it. This will be used in next patches to support the coredump
socket but is a generally useful concept.
The collision risk is so low that we can just start using it. Userspace
must already be prepared to retry if a given abstract address isn't
usable anyway.
