Support the SO_REUSEPORT option for AF_UNIX (aka AF_LOCAL) sockets. Note
that unlike the IP implementations, the semantics for AF_UNIX sockets are
those of the original BSD implementation, i.e. each socket that
successfully reuses a port completely takes over from the previous
listener.
The vast majority of software does an unlink() before bind() on UNIX
sockets. This also effectively takes over the socket from the previous
listener (given sufficient permissions), but leads to a short window of
time where connections are refused because the socket doesn't exist. One
can now achieve the same behaviour without dropping a single connection by
using SO_REUSEPORT and not calling unlink() before bind().
The restrictions on this are the same as for the IP implementation:
listening socket on the given path must exist, also have SO_REUSEPORT set
and have the same uid.
