This patch adds a check on the type of the source address for the case where the destination address is in6addr_any. If the source is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 source address, the destination is changed to ::ffff:127.0.0.1, and otherwise the destination is changed to ::1. This is done in three locations to handle UDP calls to either connect() or sendmsg() and TCP calls to connect(). Note that udpv6_sendmsg() delays handling an in6addr_any destination until very late, so the patch only needs to handle the case where the source is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
