Subject: IPv6 multicast forwarding

Let me apologize in advance for the length of this message - it is long!

I'm trying to test out IPv6 multicast forwarding on a 2.6.26 kernel
and I'm getting some strange values for the upcall messages from the
kernel. My code is below, but to give an overview, my setup is as
follows:

    sender ------ ff15::1 -----> [eth1] linux 2.6.26 [eth0] ------> ...

So my incoming interface is eth1 and my outgoing interface is eth0 and
I am sending traffic to IPv6 multicast group ff15::1

I am seeing that mifs are being created successfully:

[root@...alhost mcast-tools]# cat /proc/net/ip6_mr_vif
Interface      BytesIn  PktsIn  BytesOut PktsOut Flags
 1 eth1              0       0         0       0 00000
 2 eth0              0       0         0       0 00000

And after I start sending traffic I can see that the kernel is
queueing the packets (as it does not yet have a route installed for
this traffic):

[root@...alhost mcast-tools]# cat /proc/net/ip6_mr_cache
Group                            Origin                           Iif
    Pkts  Bytes     Wrong  Oifs
ff15:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001
fec0:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 65535     1028        4
0

Which is where my code comes in, I am monitoring a raw ICMPV6 socket
so as to receive the kernel upcalls for this traffic. Now, I am
expecting to get a message from the kernel that "appears" to be an MLD
header but is in reality an mrt6msg, the flag being that the icmp6
type is set to 0 so as to indicate to the userland process that this
is an upcall.

However, in my code after I've detected that the raw socket is
readable and I read from it, I never really seem to get data that
looks like an mld_hdr:

...
      n = read(raw_icmpv6_sock, raw_recv_buf, sizeof(raw_recv_buf));
      if (n < 0) {
        perror("read: ");
        exit(1);
      }
     mh = (struct mld_hdr *)raw_recv_buf;
    if (mh->mld_icmp6_hdr.icmp6_type == 0) { /* kernel upcall */
...

Except the icmp6_type is *never* 0 - instead it's an assortment of
strange values.

I fired up gdb, examined the contents of raw_recv_buf, right after
read() occurs and mh is set to point to raw_recv_buf:

(gdb) p/x raw_recv_buf[0]@n
$13 = {0x20, 0x0, 0x80, 0x1, 0x20, 0x0, ....
(gdb) p/d mh->mld_icmp6_hdr.icmp6_type
$14 = 32

and then the next packet comes in with different values..

(gdb) p/x raw_recv_buf[0]@n
$15 = {0x86, 0x15, 0x60, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0,
0xc2, 0x3, 0x18, 0x0, 0x95, 0x1a, 0x7, 0x0, 0x3, 0x15, 0x60, 0x1,
0x86, 0x15, 0x60, 0x1, 0xec, 0x\
ec, 0xe9, 0xe9, 0xe9, 0xe9, 0xff, 0xff, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}
(gdb) p/d mh->mld_icmp6_hdr.icmp6_type
$16 = 134

Now I am examining the traffic sent in another window:

[root@...alhost linux]# tcpdump -xnnevi eth1
tcpdump: listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
17:59:50.713520 08:00:27:9c:aa:88 > 33:33:00:00:00:01, ethertype IPv6

	0x0030:  6162 6364

So either I'm misunderstanding the upcall mechanism here (most likely)
or there's a bug... If there's any other information I can include let
me know. Below is the code I am using to monitor the raw socket - it's
not pretty code :-) just what I am using for testing right now!
