Subject: sctp: full support for ipv6 ip_nonlocal_bind & IP_FREEBIND
From: Laszlo Toth <laszlth@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit b71d21c274eff20a9db8158882b545b141b73ab8 ]
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)
