Hi Eric,

While fuzzing with trinity on a -next kernel with the undefined behaviour
sanitizer path, I've observed the following warning in code which was
introduced in 04ca6973f7 ("ip: make IP identifiers less predictable"):

This is a false positive.

Also we compile the whole kernel with -fno-strict-overflow, so every
report of signed overflow leading to undefined behavior is probably a
false positive. I don't know if it is worth to try to get rid of them, I
doubt it.

Bye,
Hannes
