When query/report packets are received, mld module processes them.
But they are processed under BH context so it couldn't use sleepable
functions. So, in order to switch context, the two workqueues are
added which processes query and report event.
In the struct inet6_dev, mc_{query | report}_queue are added so it
is per-interface queue.
And mc_{query | report}_work are workqueue structure.
When the query or report event is received, skb is queued to proper
queue and worker function is scheduled immediately.
Workqueues and queues are protected by spinlock, which is
mc_{query | report}_lock, and worker functions are protected by RTNL.

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.
