tcp_request_sock_ops structure is specific to IPv4. It should then not
be used with MPTCP subflows on top of IPv6.
For example, it contains the 'family' field, initialised to AF_INET.
This 'family' field is used by TCP FastOpen code to generate the cookie
but also by TCP Metrics, SELinux and SYN Cookies. Using the wrong family
will not lead to crashes but displaying/using/checking wrong things.
Note that 'send_reset' callback from request_sock_ops structure is used
in some error paths. It is then also important to use the correct one
for IPv4 or IPv6.
The slab name can also be different in IPv4 and IPv6, it will be used
when printing some log messages. The slab pointer will anyway be the
same because the object size is the same for both v4 and v6. A
BUILD_BUG_ON() has also been added to make sure this size is the same.

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.
