Hi
When ifmcaddr6's mca_sources is not NULL, but none of the sources in the list can be included in report,
(For example: when filter mode is exclude and the only source in the list has include count greater than zero.)
add_grec(...) may returns without add any data to the sk_buff. So MLD2_CHANGE_TO_EXCLUDE or MLD2_MODE_IS_EXCLUDE
report may be eliminated.
You can check this bug by test1.c in attachments. You will notice that there is no MLD2_CHANGE_TO_EXCLUDE report.

Yan,
I think your patch has some problems.

This code is the only place in the current code where you
can generate a group header with an empty source list (what it is
checking for). Your patch has added an add_grhead() for change
and EXCLUDE records, but it isn't checking mca_crcount or isquery.
I need to check, but I'm concerned this will create a group header
in a report for cases where it should not.

This "truncate" code is to handle exclude records that may be
truncated. It gets a new packet when adding this record and the whole
thing won't fit in a single packet. This is not appropriate for anything
but IS_EX and TO_EX, but "ischange" in your patch will be true for
TO_IN. So, I think this will waste space in a report that could hold
some of these TO_IN sources.
I haven't run your test code, or tested with your patch yet,
just observing the differences from the original code path and your
patch (and they appear to be more than you intended).

ischange implicits mca_crcount has already been ckecked in mld_send_cr(...)
Actually, check mca_crcount directly will get mode change report sent one times less
than you intend, because mca_crcount has decreased by one before call add_grec(...).
Now We only have MLD2_MODE_IS_INCLUDE left. but "mode is include and source list is empty"
is an impossible event.

When type is MLD2_MODE_IS_INCLUDE, min_len is equal to "sizeof(struct mld2_grec) +
sizeof(struct in6_addr)". it satisfies the comment above. (make sure we have room
for group header and at least one source.)
