    ipv6: make unsolicited report intervals configurable for mld · fc4eba58
    Hannes Frederic Sowa authored
    Commit cab70040 ("net: igmp:
    Reduce Unsolicited report interval to 1s when using IGMPv3") and
    2690048c ("net: igmp: Allow user-space
    configuration of igmp unsolicited report interval") by William Manley made
    igmp unsolicited report intervals configurable per interface and corrected
    the interval of unsolicited igmpv3 report messages resendings to 1s.
    
    Same needs to be done for IPv6:
    
    MLDv1 (RFC2710 7.10.): 10 seconds
    MLDv2 (RFC3810 9.11.): 1 second
    
    Both intervals are configurable via new procfs knobs
    mldv1_unsolicited_report_interval and mldv2_unsolicited_report_interval.
    
    (also added .force_mld_version to ipv6_devconf_dflt to bring structs in
    line without semantic changes)
    
    v2:
    a) Joined documentation update for IPv4 and IPv6 MLD/IGMP
       unsolicited_report_interval procfs knobs.
    b) incorporate stylistic feedback from William Manley
    
    v3:
    a) add new DEVCONF_* values to the end of the enum (thanks to David
       Miller)
