KMSAN reports use of uninitialized memory in the case when |alen| is
smaller than sizeof(struct netlink_sock), and therefore |nladdr| isn't
fully copied from the userspace.

Hmmm. How was this patch tested exactly ?

Thanks.

There are upstream tests in tools/testing/selftests/

In your case, making sure tools like iproute2 ss are still working
would have done the job.
