Brian,

OK, I see what you're trying to fix now.

I think the scope_id checks are not quite right-- they
should be something like this:

if (addr_type&IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL) {
        if (addr_len >= sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6)) {
                if (sk->sk_bound_dev_if && usin->sin6_scope_id &&
                    sk->sk_bound_dev_if != usin->sin6_scope_id) {
                        err = -EINVAL;
                        goto out;
                }
                if (usin->sin6_scope_id)
                        sk->sk_bound_dev_if = usin->sin6_scope_id;
                if (!sk->sk_bound_dev_if &&
                     (addr_type & IPV6_ADDR_MULTICAST))
                        fl.oif = np->mcast_oif;
        }

        /* connect to the link-local addres requires an interface */
        if (!sk->sk_bound_dev_if) {
                err = -EINVAL;
                goto out;
        }
}

        That is (in English):

        If I did an SO_BINDTODEVICE and specified sin6_scope_id,
then they better agree.
        If I specified sin6_scope_id without SO_BINDTODEVICE, set
the device to that.
        If I get this far without a device and it's multicast, use 
mcast_oif
        If I get all through that and don't have a device, EINVAL.

        Does that work for you?
