I don't know exactly, but here it is in pullable form, with the shorter of 
the two messages.

    Smack: IPv6 casting error fix for 3.11
    
    The original implementation of the Smack IPv6 port based
    local controls works most of the time using a sockaddr as
    a temporary variable, but not always as it overflows in
    some circumstances. The correct data is a sockaddr_in6.
    A struct sockaddr isn't as large as a struct sockaddr_in6.
    There would need to be casting one way or the other. This
    patch gets it the right way.
