Julien Gomes says:

====================
ipmr/ip6mr: add Netlink notifications on cache reports

Currently, all ipmr/ip6mr cache reports are sent through the
mroute/mroute6 socket only.
This forces the use of a single socket for mroute programming, cache
reports and, regarding ipmr, IGMP messages without Router Alert option
reception.

The present patches are aiming to send Netlink notifications in addition
to the existing igmpmsg/mrt6msg to give user programs a way to handle
cache reports in parallel with multiple sockets other than the
mroute/mroute6 socket.

Changes in v2:
- Changed attributes naming from {IPMRA,IP6MRA}_CACHEREPORTA_* to
  {IPMRA,IP6MRA}_CREPORT_*
- Improved packet data copy to handle non-linear packets in
  ipmr/ip6mr cache report Netlink notification creation
- Added two rtnetlink groups with restricted-binding
- Changed cache report notified groups from RTNL_{IPV4,IPV6}_MROUTE to
  the new restricted groups in ipmr/ip6mr

Changes in v3:
- Put message size calculation for {igmp,mrt6}msg_netlink_event in separate
  functions
- Increased vif id attributes size from u8 to u32

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
