There are many data structures (RDS socket options) used by RDS apps which use a 32 bit integer to store IP address. To support IPv6, struct in6_addr needs to be used. To ensure backward compatibility, a new data structure is introduced for each of those data structures which use a 32 bit integer to represent an IP address. And new socket options are introduced to use those new structures. This means that existing apps should work without a problem with the new RDS module. For apps which want to use IPv6, those new data structures and socket options can be used. IPv4 mapped address is used to represent IPv4 address in the new data structures. v4: Revert changes to SO_RDS_TRANSPORT Signed-off-by: NKa-Cheong Poon <ka-cheong.poon@oracle.com> Acked-by: NSantosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
