We introduce a new macro TIPC_ANY_SCOPE to make the handling of the lookup scope value more comprehensible during multicast reception. The (unchanged) rules go as follows: 1) Multicast messages sent from own node are delivered to all matching sockets on the own node, irrespective of their binding scope. 2) Multicast messages sent from other nodes arrive here because they have found TIPC_CLUSTER_SCOPE bindings emanating from this node. Those messages should be delivered to exactly those sockets, but not to local sockets bound with TIPC_NODE_SCOPE, since the latter obviously were not meant to be visible for those senders. 3) Group multicast/broadcast messages are delivered to the sockets with a binding scope matching exactly the lookup scope indicated in the message header, and nobody else.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
