It turns out that struct ipv6_pinfo is not located as we think.
inet6_sk_generic() and tcp_inet6_sk() disagree on 32bit kernels by 4-bytes,
because struct tcp_sock has 8-bytes alignment,
but ipv6_pinfo size is not a multiple of 8.
sizeof(struct ipv6_pinfo): 116 (not padded to 8)
I actually first coded tcp_inet6_sk() as this patch does, but thought
that "container_of(tcp_sk(sk), struct tcp6_sock, tcp)" was cleaner.
As Julian told me : Nobody should use tcp6_sock.inet6
directly, it should be accessed via tcp_inet6_sk() or inet6_sk().
This happened when we added the first u64 field in struct tcp_sock.
Fixes: 93a77c11ae79 ("tcp: add tcp_inet6_sk() helper")
