[PATCH net-next v2] net: bridge: locally receive all multicast packets if IFF_ALLMULTI is set
From: Shengyu Qu
Date: Sat Apr 12 2025 - 09:19:25 EST
If multicast snooping is enabled, multicast packets may not always end up
on the local bridge interface, if the host is not a member of the multicast
group. Similar to how IFF_PROMISC allows all packets to be received
locally, let IFF_ALLMULTI allow all multicast packets to be received.

Since Felix didn't send v2 for this patch, I decided to do it by myself.
Changes since v1:
- Move to net-next
- Changed code according to Nikolay's advice
