Public bug reported:
commit d0733d2e29b65 (Check for mistakenly passed in non-IPv4 address),
causes regressions in applications which expects bind(AF_UNSPEC) with
INADDR_ANY to work. It was reported at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42012, but since
bugzilla.kernel.org is not available for some time, some of the
discussion about this issue is can be seen at
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/112362/ for example as an additional
source.
Testcase:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <linux/in.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
struct sockaddr_in addr;
int fd, r;
fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
r = bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
if (!r)
printf("Everything looks good\n");
else
printf("ERROR: too strict AF_INET check\n");
close(fd);
}
