The bridge will unnecessarily continue flooding multicast packets on the according ports. 2) Never removing an mdb entry could be exploited for a Denial of Service by an attacker on the local link, slowly, but steadily eating up all memory. Actually, this commit became obsolete with "bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier" (b00589af3b) which included fixes for a few more cases. Therefore reverting the following commits (the commit stated in the commit message plus three of its follow up fixes): ==================== Revert "bridge: update mdb expiration timer upon reports." This reverts commit f144febd93d5ee534fdf23505ab091b2b9088edc. Revert "bridge: do not call setup_timer() multiple times" This reverts commit 1faabf2aab1fdaa1ace4e8c829d1b9cf7bfec2f1. Revert "bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer" This reverts commit c7e8e8a8f7a70b343ca1e0f90a31e35ab2d16de1. Revert "bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received" This reverts commit 9f00b2e7cf241fa389733d41b615efdaa2cb0f5b. ==================== CC: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing Reviewed-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S.
