Ido Schimmel ddefd1b8e5 bridge: mcast: Fix a possible use-after-free when removing a bridge port
[ Upstream commit 4df78ff026 ]

When per-VLAN multicast snooping is enabled, the bridge iterates over
all the bridge ports, disables the per-port multicast context on each
port and enables the per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts instead. The
reverse happens when per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled.

When global multicast snooping is enabled, the bridge iterates over all
the bridge ports and enables the per-port multicast context on each
port. The reverse happens when multicast snooping is disabled.

The above scheme can result in a situation where both types of contexts
(per-port and per-{port, VLAN}) are enabled on a single bridge port:

 # ip link add name br1 up type bridge mcast_snooping 1 mcast_querier 1 vlan_filtering 1
 # ip link add name dummy1 up master br1 type dummy
 # ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 1
 # ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_snooping 0
 # ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_snooping 1

This is not intended and it is a problem since the commit cited below.
Prior to this commit, when removing a bridge port,
br_multicast_disable_port() would disable the per-port multicast context
and the per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts would get disabled when
flushing VLANs.

After this commit, br_multicast_disable_port() only disables the
per-port multicast context if per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled.
If both types of contexts were enabled on the port when it was removed,
the per-port multicast context would remain enabled when freeing the
bridge port, leading to a use-after-free [1].

Fix by preventing the bridge from enabling / disabling the per-port
multicast contexts when toggling global multicast snooping if per-VLAN
multicast snooping is enabled.
