Dmitry reported memory leaks of IP options allocated in
ip_cmsg_send() when/if this function returns an error.

Callers are responsible for the freeing.

Many thanks to Dmitry for the report and diagnostic.

<content type='text'>
Add support to allow non-local binds similar to how this was done for IPv4.
Non-local binds are very useful in emulating the Internet in a box, etc.

This add the ip_nonlocal_bind sysctl under ipv6.

Testing:

Set up nonlocal binding and receive routing on a host, e.g.:

ip -6 rule add from ::/0 iif eth0 lookup 200
ip -6 route add local 2001:0:0:1::/64 dev lo proto kernel scope host table 200
sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind=1

Set up routing to 2001:0:0:1::/64 on peer to go to first host

ping6 -I 2001:0:0:1::1 peer-address -- to verify

If we don't do that, then the poison value is left in the -&gt;pprev
backlink.

This can cause crashes if we do a disconnect, followed by a connect().

The ipv4 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check
for non-NULL pointer is done as x != NULL and sometimes as x. x is
preferred according to checkpatch and this patch makes the code
consistent by adopting the latter form.

No changes detected by objdiff.

<title>net: ping: Return EAFNOSUPPORT when appropriate.</title>

1. For an IPv4 ping socket, ping_check_bind_addr does not check
   the family of the socket address that's passed in. Instead,
   make it behave like inet_bind, which enforces either that the
   address family is AF_INET, or that the family is AF_UNSPEC and
   the address is 0.0.0.0.
2. For an IPv6 ping socket, ping_check_bind_addr returns EINVAL
   if the socket family is not AF_INET6. Return EAFNOSUPPORT
   instead, for consistency with inet6_bind.
3. Make ping_v4_sendmsg and ping_v6_sendmsg return EAFNOSUPPORT
   instead of EINVAL if an incorrect socket address structure is
   passed in.
4. Make IPv6 ping sockets be IPv6-only. The code does not support
   IPv4, and it cannot easily be made to support IPv4 because
   the protocol numbers for ICMP and ICMPv6 are different. This
   makes connect(::ffff:192.0.2.1) fail with EAFNOSUPPORT instead
   of making the socket unusable.

Among other things, this fixes an oops that can be triggered by:

    int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_ICMP);
    struct sockaddr_in6 sin6 = {
        .sin6_family = AF_INET6,
        .sin6_addr = in6addr_any,
    };
    bind(s, (struct sockaddr *) &amp;sin6, sizeof(sin6));

<title>net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg</title>

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.
