Problem with "tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound" commit

[Grzegorz Chwesewicz]

	Hi, I have a problem with binding to port with the latest git kernel
(my HEAD is at 1600f9def09de07c5dbeb539e978fa73880690dd). Please CC to
me as I'm not subscribed to the list.

Example with buggy kernel:

ensima-hp ~ # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * Starting apache2 ...
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address
127.0.0.1:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

As you can see nothing is listening on port 80, but there are old
connections to port 80 with CLOSE_WAIT and FIN_WAIT2 state.

ensima-hp ~ # netstat -pan --inet|grep 80
netstat: no support for `AF INET (sctp)' on this system.
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      4806/cupsd
tcp        1      0 127.0.0.1:54040         127.0.0.1:80
CLOSE_WAIT  5814/konquerorHk573
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:80            127.0.0.1:54042
FIN_WAIT2   -
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:80            127.0.0.1:54040
FIN_WAIT2   -
tcp        1      0 127.0.0.1:54042         127.0.0.1:80
CLOSE_WAIT  6175/konquerordx573

So I can't start apache as long as these connections are not fully
closed, after that apache starts without problems.

ensima-hp ~ # netstat -pan --inet|grep 80
netstat: no support for `AF INET (sctp)' on this system.
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      4806/cupsd

ensima-hp ~ # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * Starting apache2 ...		[OK]

Problem occured between 2.6.34-rc4 and latest git, bisect shows that the
problem is caused by:

tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound

Reverting this commit from current HEAD, resolving conflict in
'net/ipv6/inet6_connection_sock.c' file, and compiling new kernel solves
the problem.
