[PATCH net-next 3/3] sctp: Replace sockaddr with sockaddr_inet in sctp_addr union

From: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-07-22 17:18:36
Also in: linux-hardening, linux-sctp, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], sctp protocol, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Marcelo Ricardo Leitner, Xin Long, Linus Torvalds

As part of the removal of the variably-sized sockaddr for kernel
internals, replace struct sockaddr with sockaddr_inet in the sctp_addr
union.

No binary changes; the union size remains unchanged due to sockaddr_inet
matching the size of sockaddr_in6.
