I believe that this still works. Ipoib should leave all multicast groups, then

this should work.
Are you saying that IPoIB handles the event ? Does the multicast module
cooperate (in terms of reregistering for a group it may think is already
registered) ?
Ipoib handles the event. It first leaves all multicast groups, then re-joins
the groups.
Technically, the multicast module does _not_ cooperate. That is, if the
multicast module receives a join request for a group that it is already a member
of, it will simply increment a reference count, rather than send a new join
request. (Assuming that the join states match.)
The multicast module should work in this specific case, since the only client is
ipoib, and ipoib first leaves the group before re-joining.
