If multicast snooping is enabled, multicast packets may not always end up

locally, let IFF_ALLMULTI allow all multicast packets to be received.

Would be good to explain in the commit message why this is needed when
you can instead configure the bridge as a router port. Felix provided
useful information on v1:

Hi,

Thanks for reply. I'll add that in next version.

Since Felix didn't send v2 for this patch, I decided to do it by myself.

Felix provided his SoB on v2? If not, "Reported-by" might be more
appropriate.
Will change.


Changes since v1:
- Move to net-next
- Changed code according to Nikolay's advice

The alignment here is off. Also, you can drop the parenthesis.
Will fix.


local_rcv = true;
DEV_STATS_INC(br->dev, multicast);
