Add new iflink attributes to configure in-kernel UDP listener socket address: IFLA_GTP_LOCAL and IFLA_GTP_LOCAL6. If none of these attributes are specified, default is still to IPv4 INADDR_ANY for backward compatibility. Add new attributes to set up family and IPv6 address of GTP tunnels: GTPA_FAMILY, GTPA_PEER_ADDR6 and GTPA_MS_ADDR6. If no GTPA_FAMILY is specified, AF_INET is assumed for backward compatibility. setsockopt IPV6_ADDRFORM allows to downgrade socket from IPv6 to IPv4 after socket is bound. Assumption is that socket listener that is attached to the gtp device needs to be either IPv4 or IPv6. Therefore, GTP socket listener does not allow for IPv4-mapped-IPv6 listener.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
