Subject: [PATCH][MCAST]IPv6: small fix for ip6_mc_msfilter(...)

Hi.
I think ip6_mc_add_src(...) should be called when number of sources is zero and filter mode is exclude.

You can reproduce this bug by follow codes. This program will cause a
change to include report even though the first socket's filter mode is
exclude.

Please adjust IFINDEX first.
========================================
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#define IFINDEX 6

int main(int argc, char argv[])
{
int i, sockfds[3];
struct ipv6_mreq req;
struct group_filter filter;
struct sockaddr_in6 *psin6;
req.ipv6mr_interface = IFINDEX;
inet_pton(PF_INET6, "FF02::2", &req.ipv6mr_multiaddr);

for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
sockfds[i] = socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
setsockopt(sockfds[i], SOL_IPV6, IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, &req, sizeof(req));
}

filter.gf_interface = IFINDEX;
filter.gf_fmode = MCAST_INCLUDE;
filter.gf_numsrc = 1;
psin6 = (struct sockaddr_in6 *)&filter.gf_group;
psin6->sin6_family = AF_INET6;
inet_pton(PF_INET6, "FF02::2", &psin6->sin6_addr);
psin6 = (struct sockaddr_in6 *)&filter.gf_slist[0];
psin6->sin6_family = AF_INET6;
inet_pton(PF_INET6, "2002:de12:1780::1", &psin6->sin6_addr);
setsockopt(sockfds[1], SOL_IPV6, MCAST_MSFILTER, &filter, sizeof(filter));

filter.gf_fmode = MCAST_EXCLUDE;
filter.gf_numsrc = 0;
setsockopt(sockfds[2], SOL_IPV6, MCAST_MSFILTER, &filter, sizeof(filter));
setsockopt(sockfds[2], SOL_IPV6, MCAST_MSFILTER, &filter, sizeof(filter));

pause();

Yan,
Please also make this equivalent change in IPv4 with
ip_mc_msfilter() and ip_mc_add_src().

I've not clearly understood the nature of the bug, does it also
affect 2.4 ? Marcelo will be releasing 2.4.32 in a few days, so
it would be wise to merge the fix soon.

Yes.

Multicast source filters aren't widely used yet, and that's
really the only feature that's affected if an application actually
exercises this bug, as far as I can tell. An ordinary filter-less
multicast join should still work, and only forwarded multicast
traffic making use of filters and doing empty-source filters with
the MSFILTER ioctl would be at risk of not getting multicast
traffic forwarded to them because the reports generated would not
be based on the correct counts.
But having the fix in is better than having it broken, even
for that case. :-)

OK, thanks for the clarification, I understand better now :-)

Marcelo, David, does this backport seem appropriate for 2.4.32 ? I verified
that it compiles, nothing more. If it's OK, I've noticed another patch that
Yan posted today and which might be of interest before a very solid release.
