[ Upstream commit dcc32f4f183ab8479041b23a1525d48233df1d43 ]
This reverts commit 6af1799aaf3f1bc8defedddfa00df3192445bbf3.
Commit 6af1799aaf3f ("ipv6: drop incoming packets having a v4mapped source address") introduced an input check against v4mapped addresses. Use of such addresses on the wire is indeed questionable and not allowed on public Internet. As the commit pointed out
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-itojun-v6ops-v4mapped-harmful-02
lists potential issues.
Unfortunately there are applications which use v4mapped addresses, and breaking them is a clear regression. For example v4mapped addresses (or any semi-valid addresses, really) may be used for uni-direction event streams or packet export.
Since the issue which sparked the addition of the check was with TCP and request_socks in particular push the check down to TCPv6 and DCCP. This restores the ability to receive UDPv6 packets with v4mapped address as the source.
Keep using the IPSTATS_MIB_INHDRERRORS statistic to minimize the user-visible changes.
