Merge branch 'netlink_multicast'
Johannes Berg says: ==================== netlink/genetlink cleanups & multicast improvements I'm looking at using the multicast group functionality in a way that would benefit from knowing when there are subscribers to avoid collecting the required data when there aren't any. During this I noticed that the unbind for multicast groups doesn't actually work - it's never called when sockets are closed. Luckily, nobody actually uses the functionality. While looking at the code trying to find why it's not called and where the multicast listeners are actually removed, I found the potential cleanup in patch 3. Patch 2 also has a cleanup for a generic netlink API in this area. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
