Overlayfs uses separate inodes even in the case of hard links on the
underlying filesystems. This is a problem for AF_UNIX socket
implementation which indexes sockets based on the inode. This resulted in
hard linked sockets not working.
The fix is to use the real, underlying inode.
Test case follows:
-- ovl-sock-test.c --
#include <unistd.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/un.h>
#define SOCK "test-sock"
#define SOCK2 "test-sock2"
int main(void)
{
int fd, fd2;
struct sockaddr_un addr = {
.sun_family = AF_UNIX,
.sun_path = SOCK,
};
struct sockaddr_un addr2 = {
.sun_family = AF_UNIX,
.sun_path = SOCK2,
};
unlink(SOCK);
unlink(SOCK2);
if ((fd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1)
err(1, "socket");
if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr)) == -1)
err(1, "bind");
if (listen(fd, 0) == -1)
err(1, "listen");
if (link(SOCK, SOCK2) == -1)
err(1, "link");
if ((fd2 = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1)
err(1, "socket");
if (connect(fd2, (struct sockaddr *) &addr2, sizeof(addr2)) == -1)
err (1, "connect");
return 0;
}
