Commit 9b9742022888 ("sctp: support ipv6 nonlocal bind") introduced support for the above options as v4 sctp did, so patched sctp_v6_available(). In the v4 implementation it's enough, because sctp_inet_bind_verify() just returns with sctp_v4_available(). However sctp_inet6_bind_verify() has an extra check before that for link-local scope_id, which won't respect the above options. Added the checks before calling ipv6_chk_addr(), but not before the validation of scope_id. before (w/ both options): ./v6test fe80::10 sctp bind failed, errno: 99 (Cannot assign requested address) ./v6test fe80::10 tcp bind success, errno: 0 (Success) after (w/ both options): ./v6test fe80::10 sctp bind success, errno: 0 (Success) Signed-off-by: Laszlo Toth <laszlth@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/sctp/ipv6.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/sctp/ipv6.c b/net/sctp/ipv6.c index 51c4887..ca75d2a 100644 --- a/net/sctp/ipv6.c +++ b/net/sctp/ipv6.c @@ -883,7 +883,9 @@ static int sctp_inet6_bind_verify(struct sctp_sock *opt, union sctp_addr *addr) rcu_read_lock(); dev = dev_get_by_index_rcu(net, addr->v6.sin6_scope_id); if (!dev || - !ipv6_chk_addr(net, &addr->v6.sin6_addr, dev, 0)) { + !(opt->inet.freebind || + net->ipv6.sysctl.ip_nonlocal_bind || + ipv6_chk_addr(net, &addr->v6.sin6_addr, dev, 0))) { rcu_read_unlock(); return 0; } -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sctp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
