In case new multicast routing requests come in faster than the expiration timeout occurs (e.g. zap through multicast TV streams), the timer is prevented from being called at time for already existing entries. Signed-off by: Andreas Meissner --- As the single timer is resetted to default whenever a new entry is made, the timeout for existing unresolved entires are missed and/or not updated. As a consequence new requests are denied when the limit of unresolved entries has been reached because old entries live longer than they are supposed to. The solution is to reset the timer only for the first unresolved entry in the multicast routing cache. All other timers are already set and updated correctly within the timer function itself by now. --- ipv4/ipmr.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- net/ipv4/ipmr.c.orig 2010-05-10 10:07:38.000000000 +0200 +++ net/ipv4/ipmr.c 2010-05-10 10:08:39.000000000 +0200 @@ -753,7 +753,8 @@ c->next = mfc_unres_queue; mfc_unres_queue = c; - mod_timer(&ipmr_expire_timer, c->mfc_un.unres.expires); + if (atomic_read(&net->ipv4.cache_resolve_queue_len) == 1) + mod_timer(&ipmr_expire_timer, c->mfc_un.unres.expires); } /*
