[PATCH net-next v3 0/2] Multicast group join/leave at ip level

[Madhu Challa]

This series enables configuring multicast group join/leave at ip level
by extending the "ip address" command. 

It adds a new control socket mc_autojoin_sock and ifa_flag IFA_F_MCAUTOJOIN
to invoke the corresponding igmp group join/leave api.

Since the igmp group join/leave api takes the rtnl_lock the code had to
be refactored by adding a shim layer prefixed by __ that can be invoked
by code that already has the rtnl_lock. This way we avoid proliferation of
work queues.

The first patch in this series does the refactoring for igmp v6. 
Its based on igmp v4 changes that were added by Eric Dumazet.

The second patch in this series does the group join/leave based on the
setting of the IFA_F_MCAUTOJOIN flag.

v3:
- addressed comments from David Miller.
 - fixed indentation and local variable order.
v2:
- addressed comments from Eric Dumazet.
 - removed workqueue and call __ip_mc_{join|leave}_group or
   __ipv6_sock_mc_{join|drop}

Madhu Challa (2):
  igmp v6: add __ipv6_sock_mc_join and __ipv6_sock_mc_drop
  multicast: Extend ip address command to enable multicast group
    join/leave on IP level.

[PATCH net-next v3 1/2] igmp v6: add __ipv6_sock_mc_join and __ipv6_sock_mc_drop

[Madhu Challa]

Based on the igmp v4 changes from Eric Dumazet.
959d10f6bbf6ab5b8813c4e37540a2e43ca2ae96

These changes are needed to perform igmp v6 join/leave while
RTNL is held.

Make ipv6_sock_mc_join and ipv6_sock_mc_drop wrappers around
__ipv6_sock_mc_join and  __ipv6_sock_mc_drop to avoid
proliferation of work queues.

[PATCH net-next v3 2/2] multicast: Extend ip address command to enable multicast group join/leave on IP level.

[Madhu Challa]

Joining multicast group on ethernet level via "ip maddr" command would
not work if we have an Ethernet switch that does igmp snooping since
the switch would not replicate multicast packets on ports that did not
have IGMP reports for the multicast addresses.

Linux vxlan interfaces created via "ip link add vxlan" have the group option
that enables then to do the required join.

By extending ip address command with option "autojoin" we can get similar
functionality for openvswitch vxlan interfaces as well as other tunneling
mechanisms that need to receive multicast traffic. The kernel code is
structured similar to how the vxlan driver does a group join / leave.

example:
ip address add 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5 autojoin
ip address del 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5

This patch applies on top of
[PATCH net-next] igmp: add __ip_mc_{join|leave}_group()
igmp v6: add __ipv6_sock_mc_join and __ipv6_sock_mc_drop

No WARN_ON() here, please.

Good point. It should never happen because the "ip command" would not
allow autojoin with a non multicast address. However in v1 of the
patch I was doing this via a workqueue and could not return an error.
Its not a problem anymore since ip_mc_config can return an error. I
will remove it. I will wait till tomorrow to see if there are any
other comments.

Thanks.

I was about to send in a patchset that adds UDP bearer support for TIPC, 
after rebasing it on top of this i could remove all deferred setup work
for mcast.
