From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <redacted> This patchset adds initial per-vlan multicast support, most of the code deals with moving to multicast context pointers from bridge/port pointers.Awesome work, this looks very interesting! :) I've already built and tested net-next for regressions on Marvell SOHO switches, looking good so far. Curious, are you planning querier per-vlan, including use-ifaddr support as well? In our in-house hack, which I posted a few years ago, we added some "dumpster diving" to inet_select_addr(), but it got rather tricky. So I've been leaning towards having that in userspace instead.
Yes, that is already supported (use-ifaddr needs attention though). In my next patch-set where I added the initial global vlan mcast options I added control for per-vlan querier with per-vlan querier elections and so on. The use-ifaddr needs more work though, that's why I still haven't added that option. I need to add the per-vlan/port router control option so we'll have mostly everything ready in a single release.

Future patch-sets which build on this one (in order): - iproute2 support for all the new uAPIsI'm very eager to try out all the new IGMP per-VLAN stuff, do you have any branch of the iproute2 support available yet for testing? For now I've hard-coded BROPT_MCAST_VLAN_SNOOPING_ENABLED in br_multicast_init() as a workaround, and everything seems to work just as expected :-)
I don't have it public yet because I need to polish the support, currently it's very rough, enough for testing purposes for these patch-sets. :) I plan to work on that after I finish with the per-vlan/port router control.
