[PATCH net-next] IPv6: enable bind() to assign an anycast address

[PATCH net-next] IPv6: enable bind() to assign an anycast address

[Francois-Xavier Le Bail]

- Add ipv6_chk_acast_addr_src() to check if an anycast address is link-local
  on given interface or is global (on any interface).
- Use it in inet6_bind().

Signed-off-by: Francois-Xavier Le Bail <fx.lebail@yahoo.com>
---
Tested with link-local and global anycast addresses.
Tested with SOCK_DGRAM socket, bind and UDP traffic OK.
Tested with SOCK_STREAM socket, bind OK, traffic need another change.

In actual TCP code, if the destination address is not unicast, the request is dropped:

	if (!ipv6_unicast_destination(skb))
		goto drop;

I will send another patch to allow anycat addresses destinations fot TCP.

I will divide this patch in 2 patches : one for adding ipv6_chk_acast_addr_src(), one (v2) for updating bind().
