A multicast router for IPv4 does not imply that the same host also is a multicast router for IPv6 and vice versa. To reduce multicast traffic when a host is only a multicast router for one of these two protocol families, keep router state for IPv4 and IPv6 separately. Similar to how querier state is kept separately. For backwards compatibility for netlink and switchdev notifications these two will still only notify if a port switched from either no IPv4/IPv6 multicast router to any IPv4/IPv6 multicast router or the other way round. However a full netlink MDB router dump will now also include a multicast router timeout for both IPv4 and IPv6. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@c0d3.blue> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
