Ensuring that ip_recv_error correctly handles packets from either
socket and removing the warning should indeed be good.
It is robust against v4-mapped packets from an AF_INET6 socket,
but see caveat on reconnect below.
The code between ipv6_recv_error for v4-mapped addresses and
ip_recv_error is essentially the same, the main difference being
whether to return network headers as sockaddr_in with SOL_IP
or sockaddr_in6 with SOL_IPV6.
There are very few other locations in the stack that explicitly test
sk_family in this way and thus would be vulnerable to races with
IPV6_ADDRFORM.
I'm not sure whether it is possible for a udpv6 socket to queue a
real ipv6 packet on the error queue, disconnect, connect to an
ipv4 address, call IPV6_ADDRFORM and then call ip_recv_error
on a true ipv6 packet. That would return buggy data, e.g., in
msg_name.
