Subject: [PATCH net v3 1/2] net/rds: keep the connected peer's scope id apart from the bound one
Date: Sat,  3 Oct 2026 09:35:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261003163526.250805-2-achender@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261003163526.250805-1-achender@kernel.org>

rds_connect() has nowhere to keep the scope of a link-local peer, so
it stores it in rs_bound_scope_id, the scope of the socket's own
bound address, for rds_bind() to check a later link-local bind
against.  That field is then also what a send without a destination
uses as the request's scope, and what a later bind() overwrites:
rds_add_bound() stores the bound address's scope unconditionally,
which for a non-link-local address is 0.

So after connect(fe80::x%ifA) followed by bind(global), a send() with
no destination asks for fe80::x with scope 0.  rds_conn_lookup() keys
on the interface, so that finds or creates a connection with c_dev_if
0, which the TCP transport then tries to connect through
sin6_scope_id 0 and tcp_v6_connect() rejects for a link-local peer:
the connected socket's data is queued on a connection that can never
come up.  In the other order, bind(global) then connect(fe80::x%ifB),
the connect leaves a global-bound socket with rs_bound_scope_id ifB,
so sends to other link-local peers are refused as off-link and sends
to global peers inherit a meaningless interface.

Give the connected peer its own rs_conn_scope_id.  rds_connect()
records it there and leaves the bound scope alone, rds_bind()'s
connected-socket check compares against it, and the destination-less
send takes its scope from it.
