If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Aug 4 15:15:01 PDT 2017 From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2016 19:48:19 +0100 Subject: l2tp: consider '::' as wildcard address in l2tp_ip6 socket lookup From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 97b84fd6d91766ea57dcc350d78f42639e011c30 ] An L2TP socket bound to the unspecified address should match with any address. If not, it can't receive any packet and __l2tp_ip6_bind_lookup() can't prevent another socket from binding on the same device/tunnel ID. While there, rename the 'addr' variable to 'sk_laddr' (local addr), to make following patch clearer. Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
