Subject: Error in comment in include/uapi/linux/in6.h?

Hello,

Looking at the ipv6_mreq struct in include/uapi/linux/in6.h, the comment
for the ipv6mr_ifindex member says "local IPv6 address of interface",
shouldn't that be "index of the interface" or something like that? Or am
I mistaken here?

struct ipv6_mreq {
        /* IPv6 multicast address of group */
        struct in6_addr ipv6mr_multiaddr;

        /* local IPv6 address of interface */
        int             ipv6mr_ifindex;
};

BTW, the include/uapi/linux/in6.h file is not listed in the MAINTAINERS
file.

Kind regards,

Laurent Bigonville
