For automated inbound port forwarding in pasta mode we scan bound ports
within the guest namespace via /proc and bind matching ports on the host to
listen for packets. For UDP this is usually handled by udp_timer() which
calls port_fwd_scan_udp() followed by udp_port_rebind(). However there's
one initial scan before the the UDP timer is started: we call
port_fwd_scan_udp() from port_fwd_init(), and actually bind the resulting
ports in udp_sock_init_init() called from udp_init().
Unfortunately, the version in udp_sock_init_init() isn't correct. It
unconditionally opens a new socket for every forwarded port, even if a
socket has already been explicit created with the -u option. If the
explicitly forwarded ports have particular configuration (such as a
specific bound address address, or one implied by the -o option) those will
not be replicated in the new socket. We essentially leak the original
correctly configured socket, replacing it with one which might not be
right.
We could make udp_sock_init_init() use udp_port_rebind() to get that right,
but there's actually no point doing so:
* The initial bind was introduced by ccf6d2a7b48d ("udp: Actually bind
detected namespace ports in init namespace") at which time we didn't
periodically scan for bound UDP ports. Periodic scanning was introduced
in 457ff122e ("udp,pasta: Periodically scan for ports to automatically
forward") making the bind from udp_init() redundant.
* At the time of udp_init(), programs in the guest namespace are likely
not to have started yet (unless attaching a pre-existing namespace) so
there's likely not anything to scan for anyway.
So, simply remove the initial, broken socket create/bind, allowing
automatic port forwards to be created the first time udp_timer() runs.
