A precondition check in ip_recv_error triggered on an otherwise benign
race. Remove the warning.
The warning triggers when passing an ipv6 socket to this ipv4 error
handling function. RaceFuzzer was able to trigger it due to a race
in setsockopt IPV6_ADDRFORM.
---
CPU0
do_ipv6_setsockopt
sk->sk_socket->ops = &inet_dgram_ops;
---
CPU1
sk->sk_prot->recvmsg
udp_recvmsg
ip_recv_error
WARN_ON_ONCE(sk->sk_family == AF_INET6);
---
CPU0
do_ipv6_setsockopt
sk->sk_family = PF_INET;
This socket option converts a v6 socket that is connected to a v4 peer
to an v4 socket. It updates the socket on the fly, changing fields in
sk as well as other structs. This is inherently non-atomic. It races
with the lockless udp_recvmsg path.
No other code makes an assumption that these fields are updated
atomically. It is benign here, too, as ip_recv_error cares only about
the protocol of the skbs enqueued on the error queue, for which
sk_family is not a precise predictor (thanks to another isue with
IPV6_ADDRFORM).

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
