The getname/putname hacks work in the normal file case, but it falls

when you start talking about AF_UNIX socket files where the filename string
doesn't go through the getname/putname refcount tricks. In the past (no idea
how far back this goes off the top of my head) this wasn't an issue since the
code which recorded the filenames in the audit records was broken, but since
we just "fixed" that problem, the AF_UNIX socket problem is now making an
appearance.
At least that is how it looks to me right now, if I'm wrong about this and I'm
missing an obvious fix I'm all ears/eyes/etc.
Umm... How about just adding a function that would be used instead of
all those
struct filename filename = { .name = name };
and created an object that would be destroyed later by putname()?
