Adding the call to ip_mc_sf_allow > will therefore maintain the current behaviour so long as IP_MULTICAST_ALL and > IP_MSFILTER ioctls are not called. Any code that currently is calling > IP_MULTICAST_ALL or IP_MSFILTER ioctls on raw sockets presumably is wanting > the filter to be applied, although no filtering will currently be occurring. > > Signed-off-by: Quentin Armitage <[email protected]> Applied to net-next, thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
