ipv6: Handle IPv4-mapped src to in6addr_any dst.
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698817 [ Upstream commit 052d2369 ] 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.
