I don't expect RDS apps will want to use link local address
in the first place. In fact, most normal network apps don't.
This is not true.
You're not doing this for IPv4 and RDS today (you dont have to do this
for UDP, afaik)
Do you know of any IPv4 RDS app which uses IPv4 link local
address? In fact, IPv4 link local address is explicitly
disallowed for active active bonding.
Yes. Cluster-ware HAIP makes use of link local addresses. That
check was mainly because of RDMA CM issues but that only means
active-active isn't used. The bonding works just fine and if
needed cluster-ware can also use TCP transport.
Lets not add this new behavior for link local and its
actually not relevant to really v6 addressing support.
