This can be solved in this AF_BUS like this: * Becoming a bus master needs a proper CAP. * Impose a bus endpoint to join multicast address "maddr1" first, if it wants to send to multicast address "maddr2". The bus endpoint sends the request of joining maddr1, and the bus master grants it with replying a cmsg(control message) and setting up a proper eBPF. Next time, the bus endpoint sends to maddr2, the kernel will allow this if: 1) maddr1 & maddr2 == maddr1 And 2) the eBPF allows it. (i.e. the same multicast match logic in this AF_BUS) -- Regards, - cee1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
