That would have have handled the specific case of read(2) on
SOCK_STREAM, but the sk->sk_state is checked in many other places in
af_unix.c so there would still be userspace-visible behaviour changes in
several other situations, which could cause regressions. Just to give
one such example, the sendfile(2) call in the following program gets
killed by SIGPIPE on earlier kernels but would now instead start to
return -ENOTCONN:
#include <err.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/unistd.h>
#include <sys/sendfile.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int sock[2];
int ret;
ret = socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sock);
if (ret < 0)
err(1, "socketpair");
ret = shutdown(sock[0], SHUT_RDWR);
if (ret < 0)
err(1, "shutdown");
ssize_t bytes = sendfile(sock[0], open(argv[0], O_RDONLY), NULL, 16);
if (bytes < 0)
err(1, "sendfile");
printf("sendfile %zd bytes\n", bytes);
return 0;
}

I must admit I'm not really familiar with either af_unix.c or sockmap,
but clearly the existing code in af_unix.c does not expect sk_state to
be changed in shutdown. If we want to prevent UNIX sockets which have
had shutdown(SHUT_RDWR) called on then from being redirect to sockmap,
then maybe some other flag should be used to achieve that?
(Also, I wonder why the code added by the patch handled SHUT_RDWR
differently from a SHUT_RD followed by a SHUT_WR?)

That may well be the case, I just assumed that the tests added along
with the new feature were comprehensive.
