Peter Oskolkov 0ee58dad5b net: tcp6: prefer listeners bound to an address
A relatively common use case is to have several IPs configured
on a host, and have different listeners for each of them. We would
like to add a "catch all" listener on addr_any, to match incoming
connections not served by any of the listeners bound to a specific
address.

However, port-only lookups can match addr_any sockets when sockets
listening on specific addresses are present if so_reuseport flag
is set. This patch eliminates lookups into port-only hashtable,
as lookups by (addr,port) tuple are easily available.

In addition, compute_score() is tweaked to _not_ match
addr_any sockets to specific addresses, as hash collisions
could result in the unwanted behavior described above.

Tested: the patch compiles; full test in the last patch in this
patchset. Existing reuseport_* selftests also pass.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
