Hello,
below in the text you find a small kernel module as a proof of concept,
that allows a listing of all current multicast group joins for (UDP/IPv4)
sockets (NOTE: sockets, neither IP-level nor netdevice-level) along with
the corresponding process(es) and filedescriptors.
Why did I do this?
Recently two different people asked me about Linux' behavior with respect
to UDP/IPv4 multicast sockets. The first question was, why two different
sockets that join different groups receive messages from the respective
other group (if they are only bound to the wildcard address). Obviously
this is handled differently in Linux for IPv4, where the socket matching
for incoming message is done solely on the 4-tuple of addresses and ports,
and IPv6, where the explicit socket joins are taken into account [1,2].
The second question was, if there is a possibility to get a list of all
processes and the multicast groups they joined. Apparently the usual
approach involving "netstat -g" (aka /proc/net/igmp[6]) only reports
aggregates on the level of the host or IP respectively.
/proc/net/dev_mcast is similar just one level below for the MAC group
addresses on data link layer. Funny is the fact, that the IGMP code does
track all group joins for each socket separately. Since I could not find
any existing method to read that useful information (in user space), I
wrote the module.

Maybe this is useful for somebody, so I share it here.

Steffen.

/* sockjoin: Prints UDP/IPv4 sockets and their joined multicast groups.
*
* This is more information than the usual "netstat -g" aka
* /proc/net/igmp (on network layer) and /proc/net/dev_mcast (on data
* link layer) can provide. Specifically, such data lacks the
* information which sockets issued explicit group joins, since IP
* just keeps track of the aggregated union of all group joins of the
* host. Thankfully the kernel tracks more information internally with
* a list of current group joins for each socket. This Linux kernel
* module fits the pieces together and prints it nicely formatted
* (including the processes accessing multicast sockets) on module load in
* the kernel log. Future versions should enhance user friendlyness by
* introduction of a procfs interface.
*
* Linux kernel module for Linux version 2.6.
