UNIX: Do not loop forever at unix_autobind().
We assumed that unix_autobind() never fails if kzalloc() succeeded.
But unix_autobind() allows only 1048576 names. If /proc/sys/fs/file-max is
larger than 1048576 (e.g. systems with more than 10GB of RAM), a local user can
consume all names using fork()/socket()/bind().
If all names are in use, those who call bind() with addr_len == sizeof(short)
or connect()/sendmsg() with setsockopt(SO_PASSCRED) will continue
while (1)
yield();
loop at unix_autobind() till a name becomes available.
This patch adds a loop counter in order to give up after 1048576 attempts.
Calling yield() for once per 256 attempts may not be sufficient when many names
are already in use, for __unix_find_socket_byname() can take long time under
such circumstance. Therefore, this patch also adds cond_resched() call.
Note that currently a local user can consume 2GB of kernel memory if the user
is allowed to create and autobind 1048576 UNIX domain sockets. We should
consider adding some restriction for autobind operation.
