Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 net] udpv6: reset daddr and dport in sk if connect() fails

So this is clearly an improvement over the current state of things.

However, I think there is still a very slight race condition in the
error case, since I imagine udp early demux might find the socket
while ip6_datagram_dst_update() is running.

It's possible that inet_dport assignment could simply be postponed
until after the ip6_datagram_dst_update() call.

Another possibility would be to make the early demux code only capable
of finding TCP_ESTABLISHED sockets.

That said, I'm not sure what the right call would be.
