Subject: Re: [PATCH] UDP: Make use of inet_iif() when doing socket lookups.

I don't see any problem with this. If you're using IP_MULTICAST_IF with
a bound socket, it forces you to use that interface, anyway.

I'm not sure multicasting works as expected in some other cases with
bound sockets (looks like there may be some holes to evade the
binding), but that's in old code. I don't see any problems from this
patch.
