Commit Message

Yuyang Huang Dec. 4, 2024, 1:47 p.m. UTC
This change introduces netlink notifications for multicast address
changes. The following features are included:
* Addition and deletion of multicast addresses are reported using
  RTM_NEWMULTICAST and RTM_DELMULTICAST messages with AF_INET and
  AF_INET6.
* Two new notification groups: RTNLGRP_IPV4_MCADDR and
  RTNLGRP_IPV6_MCADDR are introduced for receiving these events.

This change allows user space applications (e.g., ip monitor) to
efficiently track multicast group memberships by listening for netlink
events. Previously, applications relied on inefficient polling of
procfs, introducing delays. With netlink notifications, applications
receive realtime updates on multicast group membership changes,
enabling more precise metrics collection and system monitoring. 

This change also unlocks the potential for implementing a wide range
of sophisticated multicast related features in user space by allowing
applications to combine kernel provided multicast address information
with user space data and communicate decisions back to the kernel for
more fine grained control. This mechanism can be used for various
purposes, including multicast filtering, IGMP/MLD offload, and
IGMP/MLD snooping.

Changelog since v3:
- Remove unused variable 'scope' declaration.
- Align RTM_NEWMULTICAST and RTM_GETMULTICAST enum definitions with
  existing code style.

Changelog since v2:
- Use RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE for both IGMP and MLD notification messages for
  consistency.

Changelog since v1:
- Implement MLD join/leave notifications.
- Revise the comment message to make it generic.
- Fix netdev/source_inline error.
- Reorder local variables according to "reverse xmas tree” style.

Maybe WARN_ON_ONCE() is enough?

Thank you very much for the prompt review feedback. Will update in patch v5.
