Use the unused3 byte in struct igmpmsg to hold the high 8 bits of the VIF ID. If using more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces it is necessary to have access to a VIF ID for cache reports that is wider than 8 bits, the VIF ID present in the igmpmsg reports sent to mroute_sk was only 8 bits wide in the igmpmsg header. Adding the high 8 bits of the 16 bit VIF ID in the unused byte allows use of more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.

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.
