I don't know what your test does, but I used the same basic idea with
loopback to find this issue. You should confirm the kernel is
returning a AF_INET6 socket type, if it is AF_INET then there is a
path I missed in 299ee and I should fix it..
Specifically, the corruption I confirmed was from a recvmsg call with
MSG_NOTIFICATION set indicating a new connection has happened on a
many to many socket.
strace sayth:
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_SEQPACKET|SOCK_CLOEXEC, IPPROTO_SCTP) = 7
recvmsg(7, {msg_name(28)={sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(9090), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::ffff:0.0.0.0", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\1\200\0\0\24\0\0\0\4\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\17%\0\0", 1024}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_EOR|MSG_MORE}, MSG_DONTWAIT) = 20
