Subject: [PATCH net-next v9 5/6] netlink: specs: rt-addr: document AF_PACKET multicast dumps
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 20:28:41 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930112842.21323-6-sigefriedhyy@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930112842.21323-1-sigefriedhyy@gmail.com>
Add the global flag, list the attributes the AF_PACKET dump uses and
describe how ifa-family selects IPv4, IPv6 or link-layer output for
RTM_GETMULTICAST.
