Once sk->sk_state is changed to TCP_LISTEN, it never changes.
unix_accept() takes advantage of this characteristics; it does not
hold the listener's unix_state_lock() and only acquires recvq lock
to pop one skb.
It means unix_state_lock() does not prevent the queue length from
changing in unix_stream_connect().
Thus, we need to use unix_recvq_full_lockless() to avoid data-race.
Now we remove unix_recvq_full() as no one uses it.
Note that we can remove READ_ONCE() for sk->sk_max_ack_backlog in
unix_recvq_full_lockless() because of the following reasons:
(1) For SOCK_DGRAM, it is a written-once field in unix_create1()
(2) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET, it is changed under the
listener's unix_state_lock() in unix_listen(), and we hold
the lock in unix_stream_connect()

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.
