This patch adds support for IGMPMSG_WRVIFWHOLE which is used to pass full packet and real vif id when the incoming interface is wrong. While the RP and FHR are setting up state we need to be sending the registers encapsulated with all the data inside otherwise we lose it. The RP then decapsulates it and forwards it to the interested parties. Currently with WRONGVIF we can only be sending empty register packets and will lose that data. This behaviour can be enabled by using MRT_PIM with val == IGMPMSG_WRVIFWHOLE. This doesn't prevent IGMPMSG_WRONGVIF from happening, it happens in addition to it, also it is controlled by the same throttling parameters as WRONGVIF (i.e. 1 packet per 3 seconds currently). Both messages are generated to keep backwards compatibily and avoid breaking someone who was enabling MRT_PIM with val == 4, since any positive val is accepted and treated the same.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
