Well, 2.2 has some comment on this:

static int unix_mkname(struct sockaddr_un * sunaddr, int len, unsigned *hashp)
{
if (len <= sizeof(short) || len > sizeof(*sunaddr))
return -EINVAL;
:
if (sunaddr->sun_path[0])
{
/*
* This may look like an off by one error but it is
* a bit more subtle. 108 is the longest valid AF_UNIX
* path for a binding. sun_path[108] doesnt as such
* exist. However in kernel space we are guaranteed that
* it is a valid memory location in our kernel
* address buffer.
*/
if (len > sizeof(*sunaddr))
len = sizeof(*sunaddr);
((char *)sunaddr)[len]=0;
len = strlen(sunaddr->sun_path)+1+sizeof(short);
return len;
}
