[PATCH net 02/11] ovpn: skip UDP source validation for unspecified addresses

[Antonio Quartulli <antonio@openvpn.net>]

From: Ralf Lici <ralf@mandelbit.com>

ovpn validates the cached local UDP source address before reusing or
refreshing a peer dst cache. This is only meaningful when a concrete
source address is selected.

For IPv6, calling ipv6_chk_addr with :: checks whether the unspecified
address itself is configured on the host. A peer may legitimately have
bind->local.ipv6 set to :: when no local endpoint was configured or
after a stale learned address was cleared. In that case the source
should be left unspecified and selected by ip6_dst_lookup_flow().

For IPv4, inet_confirm_addr(..., local = 0, ...) asks for local address
autoselection rather than validating a chosen source. Skip the precheck
there as well and let ip_route_output_flow select or reject the source.

Only validate non-zero/non-any source addresses.

Fixes: 08857b5ec5d9 ("ovpn: implement basic TX path (UDP)")
