As long as recvmsg() or recvmmsg() is used with cmsg, it is not possible to avoid receiving file descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS. This behaviour has occasionally been flagged as problematic, as it can be (ab)used to trigger DoS during close(), for example, by passing a FUSE-controlled fd or a hung NFS fd. For instance, as noted on the uAPI Group page [0], an untrusted peer could send a file descriptor pointing to a hung NFS mount and then close it. Once the receiver calls recvmsg() with msg_control, the descriptor is automatically installed, and then the responsibility for the final close() now falls on the receiver, which may result in blocking the process for a long time. Regarding this, systemd calls cmsg_close_all() [1] after each recvmsg() to close() unwanted file descriptors sent via SCM_RIGHTS. However, this cannot work around the issue at all, because the final fput() may still occur on the receiver's side once sendmsg() with SCM_RIGHTS succeeds. Also, even filtering by LSM at recvmsg() does not work for the same reason. Thus, we need a better way to refuse SCM_RIGHTS at sendmsg(). Let's introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS to disable SCM_RIGHTS. Note that this option is enabled by default for backward compatibility.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
