Subject: Re: [RFC] connectat()/bindat() or an alternative design
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:41:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d0999427-dc53-4f8b-8026-c7d97cb31cae@app.fastmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <e396ce86-ec84-4189-9da2-98af7cfa6c41@app.fastmail.com>

Two small addendums to my previous email:

First, I linked these two unresponded-to emails for prior art in the
opening email of the thread:

> https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/4FCF171B.8000207@parallels.com/
> https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAEnbY+co6YLXANfeMnfBOBs8Ba_Sbdqz0Ahm8RzAhRF7MrxL4Q@mail.gmail.com/

Since then, I found one more:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20120815161141.7598.16682.stgit@localhost.localdomain/#t

which is an actual patch by the same person that wrote the first linked
email, with replies. Hopefully that is useful.


Second, it occurred to me that regarding

> (Maybe `bind_unix_anon` should furthermore `listen` right away on

a useful thing to first decide is whether `bind_unix_anon` is
helpful and/or should be allowed for `SOCK_DGRAM`.
