In the previous GC implementation, the shape of the inflight socket graph was not expected to change while GC was in progress. MSG_PEEK was tricky because it could install inflight fd silently and transform the graph. Let's say we peeked a fd, which was a listening socket, and accept()ed some embryo sockets from it. The garbage collection algorithm would have been confused because the set of sockets visited in scan_inflight() would change within the same GC invocation. That's why we placed spin_lock(&unix_gc_lock) and spin_unlock() in unix_peek_fds() with a fat comment. In the new GC implementation, we no longer garbage-collect the socket if it exists in another queue, that is, if it has a bridge to another SCC. Also, accept() will require the lock if it has edges. Thus, we need not do the complicated lock dance.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
