Subject: all is not right with the world...

        I don't know if you've fixed it already, but I was writing some
UDPv6 tests in 2.6.23.9 and was getting EDESTADDRREQ unexpectedly. When
I looked at the kernel code, I found:

gerrit/wscott     1.115       | int udpv6_sendmsg(struct kiocb *iocb, 
struct sock *sk,
shemminger        1.57        |                                    struct 
msghdr *msg, size_t len)
torvalds          1.1         | {
...

yoshfuji          1.53        |                  } else if (!up->pending) 
{
yoshfuji          1.53        |                                  if 
(sk->sk_state != TCP_ESTABLISHED)
yoshfuji          1.53        |  return -EDESTADDRREQ;
yoshfuji          1.53        |                                  daddr = 
&np->daddr;

        I wouldn't expect a UDP socket to be setting
sk_state to TCP_ESTABLISHED...

                                                        +-DLS
