Subject: Revert "af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIAL when dest socket is NULL"
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=25da0e3e9d3fb2b522bc2a598076735850310eb1;p=linux-beck.git

Revert "af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIAL when dest socket is NULL"

This reverts commit 14134f6584212d585b310ce95428014b653dfaf6.

The problem that the above patch was meant to address is that af_unix
messages are not being coallesced because we are sending unnecesarry
credentials.  Not sending credentials in maybe_add_creds totally
breaks unconnected unix domain sockets that wish to send credentails
to other sockets.

In practice this break some versions of udev because they receive a
message and the sending uid is bogus so they drop the message.
