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: 93a77c11ae ("tcp: add tcp_inet6_sk() helper")

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.
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.
