In line 649 of 5.4.0-rc5+ we can find a while() statement:

while (!(can_skb_prv(skb)->skbcnt))
	can_skb_prv(skb)->skbcnt = atomic_inc_return(&skbcounter);

In linux/include/linux/can/skb.h we see:

static inline struct can_skb_priv *can_skb_prv(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	return (struct can_skb_priv *)(skb->head);
}

IMO accessing can_skb_prv(skb)->skbcnt at this point is a valid 
operation which has no uninitialized value.

Can this probably be a false positive of KMSAN?
