IPv6 IGMP issue in v4.4.44 ??

[Murali Karicheri <m-karicheri2@ti.com>]

Hello David, experts,

I see an issue with IGMP for IPv6 when I test HSR redundancy network
interface. As soon as I set up an HSR interface, I see some IGMP messages
(destination mac address: 33 33 00 00 00 02 going over HSR interface to
slave interfaces, at the egress where as for IPv6, I see similar messages
going directly over the Ethernet interfaces that are attached to
HSR master. It appears that the NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER is not handled properly
and the mcast snoop sends the packets over the old interfaces at timer
expiry. 

A dump of the message at the slave Ethernet interface looks like below.

IPv4

[   64.643842] 33 33 00 00 00 02 70 ff 76 1c 0f 8d 89 2f 10 3e fc 
[   64.649910] 18 86 dd 60 00 00 00 00 10 3a ff fe 80 00 00 00 
[   64.655705] 00 00 00 72 ff 76 ff fe 1c 0f 8d ff 02 00 00 00 
[   64.661503] 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 85 00 8d dc 


You can see this is tagged with HSR.

IPv6

[   65.559130] 33 33 00 00 00 02 70 ff 76 1c 0f 8d 86 dd 60 00 00 
[   65.565205] 00 00 10 3a ff fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 72 ff 76 
[   65.571011] ff fe 1c 0f 8d ff 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 
[   65.576806] 00 00 00 00 02 85 00 8d dc 00 00 00 00 01 01 

This is going directly to the slave Ethernet interface.

When I put a WARN_ONCE, I found this is coming directly from 
mld_ifc_timer_expire() -> mld_sendpack() -> ip6_output()

Do you think this is fixed in latest kernel at master? If so, could
you point me to some commits.

Thanks
