sparse reports an error due to use of RCU_INIT_POINTER helper to assign to sk_user_data pointer, which is not tagged with __rcu: net/core/sock.c:1875:25: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces): net/core/sock.c:1875:25: void [noderef] <asn:4> * net/core/sock.c:1875:25: void * ... and rightfully so. sk_user_data is not always treated as a pointer to an RCU-protected data. When it is used to point at an RCU-protected object, we access it with __sk_user_data to inform sparse about it. In this case, when the child socket does not inherit sk_user_data from the parent, there is no reason to treat it as an RCU-protected pointer. Use a regular assignment to clear the pointer value.
