Subject: IGMP Join dropping multicast packets

I'm running into an interesting problem with joining multiple
multicast feeds.  If you join multiple multicast feeds using
setsockopt(...,IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP...) it causes packets on UNRELATED
multicast feeds to get dropped.  We have a multicast feed on a rock
solid network, and we were very surprised to see dropped packets.  The
cause was a different process/program being run by a different user
joining a bunch of mulitcast feeds.

I can recreate this with a fairly simple testcase (attached below.)
The problem doesn't happen with unicast UDP data, and it doesn't
happen with loopback, so you need at least two systems to run this
(and what subscriber to netdev doesn't have at least two systems.)  To
recreate, run "receiver" on one system, "sender", on another, and then
"joiner" on the receiving system.  You should see a message pop out
saying that packets have been dropped.  I've recreated this on a few
different kernel versions (the latest being 2.6.28) and a few
different sets off hardware.  I HAVEN"T recreated it if the system
doing the IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP specifies a specific interface rather than
INADDR_ANY.  I'm not sure if that is core to the issue or not.  You
may also need to bump the value in
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_max_memberships (though that hasn't seemed
necessary for me.)

I poked around in igmp.c, but its mojo exceeds my threshold.  If
anyone has any ideas or questions I'd be happy to hear them.
