I read that manpage multiple times, trying to figure out what exactly happens when. It states that specifying INADDR_ANY is equivalent to not calling bind() at all before connect(). However if you read closely, it does not state the semantics of such situation for active sockets (i.e. sockets

Have you found the reason? no, unfortunately not. It seems strange from my point of view. cmd =80041272 should be BLKGETSIZE64_32 Seems in your case the call chain is: compat_sys_ioctl - compat_ioctl_error - compat_printk(ioctl32 ...) But IMHO it should be ---8--- compat_sys_ioctl:

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but given that you have only one interface, I don't think that routing can affect address binding (which happens waaay before the kernel gets to routing any packets). What is we simple add 'private' IPs after visible IPs? - Dietmar
