From a91f11fe060729d0009a3271e3a92cead88e2656 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ganesh Babu" <ganesh.babu@ekinops.com> Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2023 15:01:39 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] net: mroute6.h: change type of mif6c_pifi to __u32
Increase mif6c_pifi field in mif6ctl struct from 16 to 32 bits to support 32-bit ifindices. The field stores the physical interface (ifindex) for a multicast group. Passing a 32-bit ifindex via MRT6_ADD_MIF socket option from user space can cause unpredictable behavior in PIM6. Changing mif6c_pifi to __u32 allows kernel to handle 32-bit ifindex values without issues.
