From 29c486df6a208432b370bd4be99ae1369ede28d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 18:57:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv4: relax AF_INET check in bind() commit d0733d2e29b65 (Check for mistakenly passed in non-IPv4 address) added regression on legacy apps that use bind() with AF_UNSPEC family. Relax the check, but make sure the bind() is done on INADDR_ANY addresses, as AF_UNSPEC has probably no sane meaning for other addresses.
