commit 77e5593aeb upstream.
We do not need to run GC if there is no possible cyclic reference.
We use unix_graph_maybe_cyclic to decide if we should run GC.
If a fd of an AF_UNIX socket is passed to an already inflight AF_UNIX
socket, they could form a cyclic reference. Then, we set true to
unix_graph_maybe_cyclic and later run Tarjan's algorithm to group
them into SCC.
Once we run Tarjan's algorithm, we are 100% sure whether cyclic
references exist or not. If there is no cycle, we set false to
unix_graph_maybe_cyclic and can skip the entire garbage collection
next time.
When finalising SCC, we set true to unix_graph_maybe_cyclic if SCC
consists of multiple vertices.
Even if SCC is a single vertex, a cycle might exist as self-fd passing.
Given the corner case is rare, we detect it by checking all edges of
the vertex and set true to unix_graph_maybe_cyclic.
With this change, __unix_gc() is just a spin_lock() dance in the normal
usage.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
