I discovered one big problem with UDP binding in 2.6.22-rc4 :

Thanks for finding this problem, the crux of the issue is
INADDR_ANY.

Well, I feel guilty as I was initial patch submiter :(


We really should check no socket is bound to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:32769. With current hashing, it means checking all slots in udptable[] :(

Our choices are :

1) Drop all thoses patches and re-think them for 2.6.23 eventually
2) Add the extra check for ANY_ADDR sockets and perform a full scan

What do you think ?

Does checking for INADDR_ANY sockets really require a full scan?
It should just need two hash probes as far as I can tell to see
if there is "0.0.0.0:PORT" bound already.

Well, we might have 1000 ip addresses on the machine (or not :) ), and

192.168.0.1:PORT ... 192.168.0.254:PORT already bound.
