Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: fix a race in ip6_sock_set_v6only()
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 10:22:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216102202.3343588-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)

It is unlikely that this function will be ever called
with isk->inet_num being not zero.

Perform the check on isk->inet_num inside the locked section
for complete safety.

Fixes: 9b115749acb24 ("ipv6: add ip6_sock_set_v6only")
