This is an implementation of David Miller's suggested fix in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470201 It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of wait_event_interruptible(). Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg() block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes. Signed-off-by: dann frazier <dannf@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
