Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: honour non local bind

From: Michele Dionisio <michele.dionisio@...il.com>


Hi all,

I see that net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1 does not works on ipv6 if you try to bind on not local ip.
An easy test to see the issue using python is:

set  net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1 and in python shell try to execute

import socket
s = socket.socket(family=socket.AF_INET6)
s.bind(('2a01:84a0:1001:A001:0000:0:0015:8', 1234))

you receive an error. In ipv4 it works.

The patch attached solve the issue
