I really would like to avoid that because it will just mean that someone
else will abuse that function and then make an argument why we should
export the other function.
I think it would be ok if we required that unix support is built in
because it's not unprecedented either and we're not breaking anything.
Bpf has the same requirement:
#if IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_UNIX) && defined(CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL)
struct bpf_unix_iter_state {
struct seq_net_private p;
unsigned int cur_sk;
unsigned int end_sk;
unsigned int max_sk;
struct sock **batch;
bool st_bucket_done;
};
and
#if IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_UNIX) && defined(CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL) && defined(CONFIG_PROC_FS)
DEFINE_BPF_ITER_FUNC(unix, struct bpf_iter_meta *meta,
struct unix_sock *unix_sk, uid_t uid)
