    [UNIX]: The unix_nr_socks limit can be exceeded · 284b327b
    Pavel Emelyanov authored
    The unix_nr_socks value is limited with the 2 * get_max_files() value,
    as seen from the unix_create1(). However, the check and the actual
    increment are separated with the GFP_KERNEL allocation, so this limit
    can be exceeded under a memory pressure - task may go to sleep freeing
    the pages and some other task will be allowed to allocate a new sock
    and so on and so forth.
    
    So make the increment before the check (similar thing is done in the
    sock_kmalloc) and go to kmalloc after this.
