Kuniyuki Iwashima 51bae889fe af_unix: Put pathname sockets in the global hash table.
Commit cf2f225e26 ("af_unix: Put a socket into a per-netns hash table.")
accidentally broke user API for pathname sockets.  A socket was able to
connect() to a pathname socket whose file was visible even if they were in
different network namespaces.

The commit puts all sockets into a per-netns hash table.  As a result,
connect() to a pathname socket in a different netns fails to find it in the
caller's per-netns hash table and returns -ECONNREFUSED even when the task
can view the peer socket file.

We can reproduce this issue by:

  Console A:

    # python3
    >>> from socket import *
    >>> s = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
    >>> s.bind('test')
    >>> s.listen(32)

  Console B:

    # ip netns add test
    # ip netns exec test sh
    # python3
    >>> from socket import *
    >>> s = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
    >>> s.connect('test')

Note when dumping sockets by sock_diag, procfs, and bpf_iter, they are
filtered only by netns.  In other words, even if they are visible and
connect()able, all sockets in different netns are skipped while iterating
sockets.  Thus, we need a fix only for finding a peer pathname socket.

This patch adds a global hash table for pathname sockets, links them with
sk_bind_node, and uses it in unix_find_socket_byinode().  By doing so, we
can keep sockets in per-netns hash tables and dump them easily.

Thanks to Sachin Sant and Leonard Crestez for reports, logs and a reproducer.

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.
