syzbot is reporting uninitialized value at rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() [1]. This is because syzbot is setting AF_INET6 to "struct sockaddr_in"->sin_family (which is embedded into user-visible "struct nfs_mount_data" structure) despite nfs23_validate_mount_data() cannot pass sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6) bytes of AF_INET6 address to rpc_sockaddr2uaddr(). Since "struct nfs_mount_data" structure is user-visible, we can't change "struct nfs_mount_data" to use "struct sockaddr_storage". Therefore, assuming that everybody is using AF_INET family when passing address via "struct nfs_mount_data"->addr, reject if its sin_family is not AF_INET.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
