[IPV6]: multicast join and misc
Here is a simplified version of the patch to fix a bug in IPv6
multicasting. It:
1) adds existence check & EADDRINUSE error for regular joins
2) adds an exception for EADDRINUSE in the source-specific multicast
join (where a prior join is ok)
3) adds a missing/needed read_lock on sock_mc_list; would've raced
with destroying the socket on interface down without
4) adds a "leave group" in the (INCLUDE, empty) source filter case.
This frees unneeded socket buffer memory, but also prevents
an inappropriate interaction among the 8 socket options that
mess with this. Some would fail as if in the group when you
aren't really.
Item #4 had a locking bug in the last version of this patch; rather than
removing the idev->lock read lock only, I've simplified it to remove
all lock state in the path and treat it as a direct "leave group" call for
the (INCLUDE,empty) case it covers. Tested on an MP machine. :-)
Much thanks to HoerdtMickael <hoerdt@clarinet.u-strasbg.fr> who
reported the original bug.
