Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next 2/2] ipmaddr: read link-layer multicast addresses via netlink
Date: Sun,  8 Nov 2026 10:29:49 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261108012949.3943642-3-yuyanghuang@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261108012949.3943642-1-yuyanghuang@google.com>

"ip maddr show" gets the IPv4 and IPv6 entries from RTM_GETMULTICAST
dumps but still parses /proc/net/dev_mcast for the link-layer ones.
The kernel now also dumps the device multicast list (dev->mc) for
RTM_GETMULTICAST requests with ifa_family AF_PACKET, so use it for
those too.

The dump carries every column of /proc/net/dev_mcast: IFA_MULTICAST is
the address, IFA_MC_USERS the reference count and IFA_F_GLOBAL in
IFA_FLAGS the "static" column, set for entries added explicitly, e.g.
by "ip maddr add". The output does not change.

Older kernels reject the AF_PACKET dump with EOPNOTSUPP, in which case
/proc/net/dev_mcast is parsed as before.
