Thankyou for making that clear.
You're very welcome, thank you for tracking all of this down.
Currently the sunrpc/svc_udp.c code asks for an IP_PKTINFO from
recvmsg, and passes it verbatim down through sendmsg.
And yes, this is buggy.
My patch checks that the returned data looks believable and, if it
does, zeros the ipi_ifindex field.
Please note also that ipi_addr is ignored on sendmsg().
You don't have to zero it, this is just a reminder about
what the kernel will do with this thing.
