instead of a linear array. The multicast memberships for the inpcb structure are protected by a non-sleepable lock, INP_WLOCK(), which needs to be dropped when calling the underlying possibly sleeping if_ioctl() method. When using a linear array to keep track of multicast memberships, the computed memory location of the multicast filter may suddenly change, due to concurrent insertion or removal of elements in the linear array. This in turn leads to various invalid memory access issues and kernel panics. To avoid this problem, put all multicast memberships on a STAILQ based list. Then the memory location of the IPv4 and IPv6 multicast filters become fixed during their lifetime and use after free and memory leak issues are easier to track, for example by: vmstat -m | grep multi All list manipulation has been factored into inline functions including some macros, to easily allow for a future hash-list implementation, if needed.
