SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] unix: properly account for FDs passed over unix sockets
From
From: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>
Date: Sun, Jan 10 07:54:56 CET 2016

> It is possible for a process to allocate and accumulate far more FDs than

> to keep the process' fd count low.
>
> This change addresses this problem by keeping track of the number of FDs
> in flight per user and preventing non-privileged processes from having
> more FDs in flight than their configured FD limit.
