In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:smc: Fix various oops due to inet_sock type confusion.syzbot reported weird splats [0][1] in cipso_v4_sock_setattr() while
freeing inet_sk(sk)->inet_opt.The address was freed multiple times even though it was read-only memory.cipso_v4_sock_setattr() did nothing wrong, and the root cause was type
confusion.The cited commit made it possible to create smc_sock as an INET socket.The issue is that struct smc_sock does not have struct inet_sock as the
first member but hijacks AF_INET and AF_INET6 sk_family, which confuses
various places.In this case, inet_sock.inet_opt was actually smc_sock.clcsk_data_ready(),
which is an address of a function in the text segment.$ pahole -C inet_sock vmlinux
  struct inet_sock {
  ...
          struct ip_options_rcu *    inet_opt;             /*   784     8 */$ pahole -C smc_sock vmlinux
  struct smc_sock {
  ...
          void                       (*clcsk_data_ready)(struct sock *); /*   784     8 */The same issue for another field was reported before. [2][3]At that time, an ugly hack was suggested [4], but it makes both INET
and SMC code error-prone and hard to change.Also, yet another variant was fixed by a hacky commit 98d4435efcbf3
("net/smc: prevent NULL pointer dereference in txopt_get").Instead of papering over the root cause by such hacks, we should not
allow non-INET socket to reuse the INET infra.Let's add inet_sock as the first member of smc_sock.[0]:
