From 779f1edec664a7b32b71f7b4702e085a08d60592 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2016 16:51:26 -0400 Subject: sock: ignore SCM_RIGHTS and SCM_CREDENTIALS in __sock_cmsg_send Sergei Trofimovich reported that pulse audio sends SCM_CREDENTIALS as a control message to TCP. Since __sock_cmsg_send does not support SCM_RIGHTS and SCM_CREDENTIALS, it returns an error and hence breaks pulse audio over TCP. SCM_RIGHTS and SCM_CREDENTIALS are sent on the SOL_SOCKET layer but they semantically belong to SOL_UNIX. Since all cmsg-processing functions including sock_cmsg_send ignore control messages of other layers, it is best to ignore SCM_RIGHTS and SCM_CREDENTIALS for consistency (and also for fixing pulse audio over TCP).
