Joseph Huang 2a4b9df3cb net: bridge: Do not offload IGMP/MLD messages [ Upstream commit `683dc24da8` ] Do not offload IGMP/MLD messages as it could lead to IGMP/MLD Reports being unintentionally flooded to Hosts. Instead, let the bridge decide where to send these IGMP/MLD messages. Consider the case where the local host is sending out reports in response to a remote querier like the following: mcast-listener-process (IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP) \ br0 / \ swp1 swp2 \| \| QUERIER SOME-OTHER-HOST In the above setup, br0 will want to br_forward() reports for mcast-listener-process's group(s) via swp1 to QUERIER; but since the source hwdom is 0, the report is eligible for tx offloading, and is flooded by hardware to both swp1 and swp2, reaching SOME-OTHER-HOST as well. (Example and illustration provided by Tobias.)

README

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.

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.
