Subject: [net-next PATCH 03/16] Allow binding to non-local addresses if IP_TRANSPARENT is set

From: KOVACS Krisztian <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:24:31 +0200

Setting IP_TRANSPARENT is not really useful without allowing non-local
binds for the socket. To make user-space code simpler we allow these binds
even if IP_TRANSPARENT is set but IP_FREEBIND is not.
