Strange problem with SCTP+IPv6

[Corey Minyard <minyard@xxxxxxx>]

I've stumbled upon a strange problem with SCTP and IPv6.  If I create an
sctp listening socket on :: and set the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option on it,
then I make a connection to it using ::1, the connection will drop after
2.5 seconds with an ECONNRESET error.

It only happens on SCTP, it doesn't have the issue if you connect to a
full IPv6 address instead of ::1, and it doesn't happen if you don't
set IPV6_V6ONLY.  I have verified current end of tree kernel.org.
I tried on an ARM system and x86_64.

I haven't dug into the kernel to see if I could find anything yet, but I
thought I would go ahead and report it.  I am attaching a reproducer.
Basically, compile the following code:

  gcc -g -o sctptest -Wall sctptest.c

and run it in one window as a server:

  ./sctptest a

(Pass in any option to be the server) and run the following in another
window as the client:

  ./sctptest

It disconnects after about 2.5 seconds.  If it works, it should just sit
there forever.
