I see. Thanks for the tip. However, if UNIX_PATH_MAX ever changes in the
future, the decl

    char servername[108];

might be missed when fixing all the changes caused by the change of the
macro definition? Am I wrong again?

Making it logically depend on the system limits might save some headache
in the future, perhaps.

If really the biggest string that will be copied there is: "/var/run/rpcbind.sock",
you are then right - stack space is precious commodity, and allocating
via kmalloc() might preempt the caller thread.

However, you got to this five weeks earlier - but the patch did not
propagate to the main vanilla torvalds tree.
