ipv6_addr_type() returns a bitmask, so you should use:

if (addr_type  IPV6_ADDR_MAPPED) {


I just c'n'pasted the code that checks for mapped addresses. In most 
cases it's just ==, not bitmask operation.




Also, you should have a blank line after the mreq declaration.


ok.



Ditto for both in ipv6_mc_sock_drop().




I don't expect the multicast source filtering interface will
behave well for mapped addresses, either. The mapped multicast
address won't appear to be a multicast address (and return
error there), and all the source filters would have to be
v4mapped addresses and modify the v4 source filters for this
to do as you expect. So, there's more to it (and it may be a
bit messy) to support mapped multicast addresses fully. I'll
think about that part some more.



Didn't have time to test it throughly. I've only checked that call 
succeeds and that all necessary igmp are sent. I hope, this weekend I'll 
have more time to check.

Dmitry,
Good catch; a couple comments:
