To be able to apply our group aware multicast optimizations to packets
with a scope greater than link-local we need to not only keep track of
multicast listeners but also multicast routers.
With this patch a node detects the presence of multicast routers on
its segment by checking if
/proc/sys/net/ipv{4,6}/conf/<bat0|br0(bat)>/mc_forwarding is set for one
thing. This option is enabled by multicast routing daemons and needed
for the kernel's multicast routing tables to receive and route packets.
For another thing if a bridge is configured on top of bat0 then the
presence of an IPv6 multicast router behind this bridge is currently
detected by checking for an IPv6 multicast "All Routers Address"
(ff02::2). This should later be replaced by querying the bridge, which
performs proper, RFC4286 compliant Multicast Router Discovery (our
simplified approach includes more hosts than necessary, most notably
not just multicast routers but also unicast ones and is not applicable
for IPv4).
If no multicast router is detected then this is signalized via the new
BATADV_MCAST_WANT_NO_RTR4 and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_NO_RTR6
multicast tvlv flags.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
