Hmm... So setting sk_max_ack_backlog to 1 makes it limited by max_files, which should make the worst case the same as for streaming sockets, right? > The problem is specific for unconnected datagram sockets > (predicate unix_peer(other) != sk) Doesn't that mean that both sockets are connected to eachother? I mean, if only this socket connects to the other the above check isn't true.
