[PATCH v2] tcp: Add listening address to SYN flood message

From: Jamie Bainbridge
Date: Thu Nov 10 2022 - 23:03:17 EST


The SYN flood message prints the listening port number, but with many
processes bound to the same port on different IPs, it's impossible to
tell which socket is the problem.

Add the listen IP address to the SYN flood message in the "IP.port"
format like most other tools (eg: tcpdump).

Each protcol's "any" address and a host address now look like:

Possible SYN flooding on port 0.0.0.0.9001.
Possible SYN flooding on port 127.0.0.1.9001.
Possible SYN flooding on port ::.9001.
Possible SYN flooding on port fc00::1.9001.
