Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] net: ipv4: report multicast group user count
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 20:02:05 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630110207.37841-2-sigefriedhyy@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630110207.37841-1-sigefriedhyy@gmail.com>

RTM_GETMULTICAST has been part of the rtnetlink ABI for a long time
and already reports IPv4 multicast group membership through
IFA_MULTICAST and IFA_CACHEINFO. It does not report how many consumers
hold each membership, so userspace still has to parse /proc/net/igmp to
get the Users column.

Add IFA_MC_USERS as a u32 attribute carrying ip_mc_list::users in
RTM_GETMULTICAST replies and entry-lifecycle notifications.

This gives iproute2 enough information to migrate the IPv4 part of
"ip maddr show" from procfs parsing to rtnetlink.
