Paolo Abeni 996b44fcef udp: fix bcast packet reception
The commit bc044e8db7 ("udp: perform source validation for
mcast early demux") does not take into account that broadcast packets
lands in the same code path and they need different checks for the
source address - notably, zero source address are valid for bcast
and invalid for mcast.

As a result, 2nd and later broadcast packets with 0 source address
landing to the same socket are dropped. This breaks dhcp servers.

Since we don't have stringent performance requirements for ingress
broadcast traffic, fix it by disabling UDP early demux such traffic.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
