Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] selftests: net: check multicast group user count
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 20:02:07 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630110207.37841-4-sigefriedhyy@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630110207.37841-1-sigefriedhyy@gmail.com>
Extend the RTM_GETMULTICAST dump test to verify IFA_MC_USERS for both
IPv4 and IPv6 multicast groups.
Run each protocol test in a fresh network namespace to avoid changing
host-network state or racing with unrelated multicast users. Join a
fixed multicast group twice using separate sockets and check that the
reported user count increases by two.
