syzbot found that sin6_scope_id was not properly initialized,
leading to undefined behavior.

Clear sin6_scope_id and sin6_flowinfo.

A cloned head skb still shares these frag skbs in fraglist with the
original head skb. It's not safe to access these frag skbs.

Followup of commit 285975dd6742 ("net: annotate data-races around
sk-&gt;sk_{rcv|snd}timeo").

Remove lock_sock()/release_sock() from ksmbd_tcp_rcv_timeout()
and add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() where it is needed.

Also SO_RCVTIMEO_OLD and SO_RCVTIMEO_NEW can call sock_set_timeout()
without holding the socket lock.

<id>c51da3f7a161c6822232be832abdffe47eb55b4c</id>
<content type='text'>
Difference between sock_i_uid() and sk_uid() is that
after sock_orphan(), sock_i_uid() returns GLOBAL_ROOT_UID
while sk_uid() returns the last cached sk-&gt;sk_uid value.

None of sock_i_uid() callers care about this.

Use sk_uid() which is much faster and inlined.

Note that diag/dump users are calling sock_i_ino() and
can not see the full benefit yet.

ip6tunnel_xmit() erases the contents of the SKB control block. In order to
be able to set particular IP6CB flags on the SKB, add a corresponding
parameter, and propagate it to udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() as well.

In one of the following patches, VXLAN driver will use this facility to
mark packets as subject to IPv6 multicast routing.

The function always returns zero, thus the return value does not carry any
signal. Just make it void.

Most callers already ignore the return value. However:

- Refold arguments of the call from sctp_v6_xmit() so that they fit into
  the 80-column limit.

- tipc_udp_xmit() initializes err from the return value, but that should
  already be always zero at that point. So there's no practical change, but
  elision of the assignment prompts a couple more tweaks to clean up the
  function.
