AF_RXRPC opens an IPv6 socket through which to send and receive network
packets, both IPv6 and IPv4. It currently turns AF_INET addresses into
AF_INET-as-AF_INET6 addresses based on an assumption that this was
necessary; on further inspection of the code, however, it turns out that
the IPv6 code just farms packets aimed at AF_INET addresses out to the IPv4
code.
Fix AF_RXRPC to use AF_INET addresses directly when given them.

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 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.
