netpoll: fix IPv6 local-address corruption
[ Upstream commit 3bc179b ]
netpoll_setup() decides whether to auto-populate the local source
address by testing np->local_ip.ip, which only inspects the first 4
bytes of the union inet_addr storage.
For an IPv6 netpoll whose caller-supplied local address has a zero
high-32 bits (::1, ::<suffix>, IPv4-mapped ::ffff:a.b.c.d, etc.), this
misdetects the address as unset (which they are not, but the first
4 bytes are empty), calls netpoll_take_ipv6() and overwrites it with
whatever matching link-local/global address the device happens to expose
first.
Introduce a helper netpoll_local_ip_unset() that picks the correct
family-aware test (ipv6_addr_any() for IPv6, !.ip for IPv4) and use it
from netpoll_setup().
Reproducer is something like:
echo "::2" > local_ip
echo 1 > enabled
cat local_ip
# before this fix: 2001:db8::1 (caller-supplied ::2 was clobbered)
# after this fix: ::2
