[PATCH net-next] net: scm: introduce and use scm_recv_unix helper

From: Alexander Mikhalitsyn
Date: Mon Jun 26 2023 - 18:05:31 EST


Recently, our friends from bluetooth subsystem reported
[1] that after ("scm: add SO_PASSPIDFD and SCM_PIDFD")
scm_recv helper become unusable in kernel modules (because it
uses unexported pidfd_prepare() API).

We were aware of this issue and workarounded it in a hard way
by ("af_unix: Kconfig: make CONFIG_UNIX bool").

But recently a new functionality was added in the scope of
817efd3cad74 ("Bluetooth: hci_sock: Forward credentials to monitor")
and after that bluetooth can't be compiled as a kernel module.

After some discussion in [1] we decided to split scm_recv into
two helpers, one won't support SCM_PIDFD (used for unix sockets),
and another one will be completely the same as it was before
("scm: add SO_PASSPIDFD and SCM_PIDFD").
