Changes from v4:
NOTE TO REVIEWERS: I need some hand-holding to know what The Right
way to submit this particular patch is.

- no change

Changes from v3:
- pick up latest libslirp patch to reject ipv6 addr-any for guest address
  - libslirp currently only provides a stateless DHCPv6 server, which means
    it can't know in advance what the guest's IP address is, and thus
    cannot do the "addr-any -> guest ip address" translation that is done
    for ipv4

Changes from v2:
- this patch is new in v3, split out from v2

Anyhow up to the maintainer merging your patch.

Thanks, that helps a little.
The issue here is that qemu is using branch 4.2 of libslirp, whereas the
patch is currently just on libslirp's master branch.
Part of the problem is the commit description, which you've helped with.
But what about the functional part of the patch?
I can only get git format-patch to include a commit id, and the only commit
id available is on the libslirp master branch.

Is there an additional step I need to do like submit libslirp changes in
three parts?
Step 1: Submit patch to libslirp's repo (not qemu's copy, but the
libslirp master repo)
Step 2: Submit a patch to libslirp's repo to add the patch to its 4.2 branch
Step 2b: Wait for qemu's copy of libslirp's 4.2 branch to appear in
qemu's libslirp repo
Step 3: Submit patch to advance qemu's libslirp submodule

I've done steps 1,3, it's just effecting the equivalent of step2 that I'm
fuzzy on.

Only bug fixes should go in libslirp 4.2 branch. You can submit MR against
the stable-4.2 branch in gitlab.

We may update qemu to libslirp master while not in freeze (as long as
feature versioning is handled correctly, which may be error prone).

I tried to update QEMU to libslirp master some time ago, unfortunately it
failed to pass the merge because of the next commit changing the build
system (
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20210125073427.3970606-1-marcandre.lureau@redhat.com/20210125073427.3970606-2-marcandre.lureau@redhat.com/).
But just updating libslirp to master should be fine. You can see in the
commit message that I use a git tool "cherry-diff" to highlight the
differences between the branches.
