This is another false positive in bad cast detection:
net/unix/af_unix.c: In function ‘unix_skb_scm_eq’:
net/unix/af_unix.c:1621:31: note: found mismatched rhs struct pointer types:
‘struct unix_skb_parms’ and ‘char’
const struct unix_skb_parms *u = &UNIXCB(skb);
^
UNIXCB is:
#define UNIXCB(skb) (*(struct unix_skb_parms *)&((skb)->cb))
And ->cb is:
char cb[48] __aligned(8);
This is a rather crazy cast, but appears to be safe in the face of
randomization, so whitelist it in the plugin.
