When freebind feature is set of an IPv6 socket, any source address can
be used when sending UDP datagrams using IPv6 PKTINFO ancillary
message. Global non-local bind feature was added in commit
35a256fee52c ("ipv6: Nonlocal bind") for IPv6. This commit also allows
IPv6 source address spoofing when non-local bind feature is enabled.
Signed-off-by: Vincent Bernat <redacted>This definitely seems to make sense. And is consistent with the other tests involving freebind and transparent. This test involving ip_nonlocal_bind, freeebind, and transparent happens in several locations. Perhaps we should add a helper function for this? Thanks.
