I don't know why the kernel limits the socket length. There is no strict requirement to do so because the userspace interfaces all have explicit lengths. struct sockaddr_un has a fixed-size buffer, but that could be worked around, similar to struct dirent. The internal kernel interfaces are built on top of struct sockaddr_storage and do not pass explicit lengths, but those could be changed. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
