I think I'll open code it like below. I'll include this in my next push to net. >From 19fb26af00a8266df65b706dc02727c6a608b1b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2022 18:42:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] wireguard: netlink: avoid variable-sized memcpy on sockaddr Doing a variable-sized memcpy is slower, and the compiler isn't smart enough to turn this into a constant-size assignment. Further, Kees' latest fortified memcpy will actually bark, because the destination pointer is type sockaddr, not explicitly sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6, so it thinks there's an overflow: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 28) of single field "&endpoint.addr" at drivers/net/wireguard/netlink.c:446 (size 16) Fix this by just assigning by using explicit casts for each checked case.
