If more than 16000 inflight AF_UNIX sockets exist and the garbage
collector is not running, unix_(dgram|stream)_sendmsg() call unix_gc().
Also, they wait for unix_gc() to complete.
In unix_gc(), all inflight AF_UNIX sockets are traversed at least once,
and more if they are the GC candidate. Thus, sendmsg() significantly
slows down with too many inflight AF_UNIX sockets.
There is a small window to invoke multiple unix_gc() instances, which
will then be blocked by the same spinlock except for one.
Let's convert unix_gc() to use struct work so that it will not consume
CPUs unnecessarily.
Note WRITE_ONCE(gc_in_progress, true) is moved before running GC.
If we leave the WRITE_ONCE() as is and use the following test to
call flush_work(), a process might not call it.
CPU 0 CPU 1
--- ---
start work and call __unix_gc()
if (work_pending(&unix_gc_work) || <-- false
READ_ONCE(gc_in_progress)) <-- false
flush_work(); <-- missed!
WRITE_ONCE(gc_in_progress, true)

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 Restructured Text 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.
