Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv6 mcast: Do not join device multicast for interface-local multicasts.

From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 09 Feb 2013 23:29:58 +0900

RFC4291 (IPv6 addressing architecture) says that interface-Local scope
spans only a single interface on a node.  We should not join L2 device
multicast list for addresses in interface-local (or smaller) scope.
