This ioctl opens a file to which a socket is bound and
returns a file descriptor. The caller has to have CAP_NET_ADMIN
in the socket network namespace.
Currently it is impossible to get a path and a mount point
for a socket file. socket_diag reports address, device ID and inode
number for unix sockets. An address can contain a relative path or
a file may be moved somewhere. And these properties say nothing about
a mount namespace and a mount point of a socket file.
With the introduced ioctl, we can get a path by reading
/proc/self/fd/X and get mnt_id from /proc/self/fdinfo/X.
In CRIU we are going to use this ioctl to dump and restore unix socket.
Here is an example how it can be used:
$ strace -e socket,bind,ioctl ./test /tmp/test_sock
socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3
bind(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="test_sock"}, 11) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCUNIXFILE, 0) = 4
^Z
$ ss -a | grep test_sock
u_str LISTEN 0 1 test_sock 17798 * 0
$ ls -l /proc/760/fd/{3,4}
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 1 09:41 3 -> 'socket:[17798]'
l--------- 1 root root 64 Feb 1 09:41 4 -> /tmp/test_sock
$ cat /proc/760/fdinfo/4
pos: 0
flags: 012000000
mnt_id: 40
$ cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep "^40\s"
40 19 0:37 / /tmp rw shared:23 - tmpfs tmpfs rw
