… behaviour Systems with net.ipv6.bindv6only=0 (macOS, Fedora, Arch, vanilla kernels) create dual-stack sockets by default: binding '::' also covers '0.0.0.0', so the subsequent IPv4 wildcard bind fails with EADDRINUSE. Debian/Ubuntu ship bindv6only=1 so both binds succeed here, which is why this was never noticed on typical Linux CI. Explicitly set IPV6_V6ONLY=1 on AF_INET6 sockets before bind so both address families always get independent sockets regardless of the system sysctl. Also free the errstr allocation left behind when the IPv4 bind fails acceptably (IPv6 succeeded), fixing a memleak in connectd on those systems. test_ipv4_and_ipv6: accept IPv6-only binding in the single-socket case, which can still occur on IPv4-only hosts. Changelog-Fixed: connectd: on macOS and other systems with dual-stack IPv6 default, wildcard '--addr=:<port>' now correctly binds both IPv4 and IPv6.

Since i don't have a machine with a macos kernel and it seems to not be an issue on all systems with cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only
0i have reworked the macos workflow to also run tests and added the 3 tests related to this PR to CI. The fix makes sense and seems to be working |

As discussed in #9013, systems with
net.ipv6.bindv6only=0(macOS, Fedora, Arch, vanilla kernels) create dual-stack sockets by default: binding '::' also covers '0.0.0.0', so the subsequent IPv4 wildcard bind fails withEADDRINUSE. Debian/Ubuntu shipbindv6only=1so both binds succeed here, which is why this was never noticed on typical Linux CI.On this PR I've gone with option 1 and 2: Explicitly set
IPV6_V6ONLY=1onAF_INET6sockets before bind so both address families always get independent sockets regardless of the systemsysctl. Also free theerrstrallocation left behind when the IPv4 bind fails acceptably (IPv6 succeeded), fixing amemleakinconnectdon those systems.Also gave a better chance for
test_ipv4_and_ipv6in case something fails.Changelog-Fixed: connectd: on macOS and other systems with dual-stack IPv6 default, wildcard '--addr=:' now correctly binds both IPv4 and IPv6.
