Well… v1 of this patch /did/ use __get_sockaddr(). I thought I could construct a back-portable version of the patch that would not need __get_sockaddr() because it’s not available in -stable kernels.

It sounds like the only choice for fixing this issue in -stable kernels is to remove the addr field from these tracepoints entirely?
