Subject: IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP with imr_ifindex!=0 for multiple processes with
 different interfaces

Hi, 

I have a problem with multicast reception in the linux kernel and I hope, this is the right place to ask for help or to report a bug.

I need to receive multicasts on a single interface. I have written a small program, which executes IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP with imr.imr_ifindex set to the interface index. The program works well, as long as only a single instance of this program is running. If I start a second instance on a different network interface, both programs receive multicast frames from both interfaces. 

When called without argument, the test program list the network interfaces. When called with an interface name as argument, if starts receiving multicasts on that interface.

I am running vanilla Linux kernel 4.12.0.

# uname -a
Linux c627 4.12.0 #1 SMP Mon Apr 23 14:08:24 CEST 2018 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
# 

P.S. The program runs fine on MacOSX.

73, Mario
