Subject[STABLE] [PATCH] IGMP snooping: set mrouters_only flag for IPv4 traffic properly
From
Date
From: Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao <fernando@oss.ntt.co.jp>

commit 62b2bcb49cca72f6d3f39f831127a6ab315a475d upstream.

Upon reception of a IGMP/IGMPv2 membership report the kernel sets the
mrouters_only flag in a skb that may be a clone of the original skb, which
means that sometimes the bridge loses track of membership report packets (cb
buffers are tied to a specific skb and not shared) and it ends up forwading
join requests to the bridge interface.

This can cause unexpected membership timeouts and intermitent/permanent loss
of connectivity as described in RFC 4541 [2.1.1. IGMP Forwarding Rules]:

A snooping switch should forward IGMP Membership Reports only to
those ports where multicast routers are attached.
[...]
Sending membership reports to other hosts can result, for IGMPv1
and IGMPv2, in unintentionally preventing a host from joining a
specific multicast group.
