Merge branch 'genetlink_mcast'
Johannes Berg says: ==================== genetlink: clean up multicast group APIs The generic netlink multicast group registration doesn't have to be dynamic, and can thus be simplified just like I did with the ops. This removes some complexity in registration code. Additionally, two users of generic netlink already use multicast groups in a wrong way, add workarounds for those two to keep the userspace API working, but at the same time make them not clash with other users of multicast groups as might happen now. While making it all a bit easier, also prevent such abuse by adding checks to the APIs so each family can only use the groups it owns. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
