Subject[PATCH 1/5] ipvs: Enable setting IPv6 multicast address for ipvs sync daemon backup
Date
When using HEAD from https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/kernel/ipvsadm/ipvsadm.git/,
the command:
ipvsadm --start-daemon backup --mcast-interface eth0.60 --mcast-group ff01::1:81
fails with the error message:
Argument list too long

whereas both:
ipvsadm --start-daemon master --mcast-interface eth0.60 --mcast-group ff01::1:81
and:
ipvsadm --start-daemon backup --mcast-interface eth0.60 --mcast-group 224.0.0.81
are successful.

The error message "Argument list too long" isn't helpful. The error occurs
because an IPv6 address is given in backup mode.

The error is in make_receive_sock() in net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c, since
it fails to set the interface on the address or the socket before calling
inet6_bind() (via sock->ops->bind), where the test 'if (!sk->sk_bound_dev_if)'
failed.

Setting sin6_scope_id on the sockaddr before calling inet6_bind() resolves
the issue.
