Subject: [Bridge] [PATCH net] net: bridge: remove ipv6 zero address check in mcast queries
Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2018 12:07:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181027090747.22104-1-nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <90c5f2fe-1743-6b17-2e44-eba58cdbbb35@cumulusnetworks.com>

Recently a check was added which prevents marking of routers with zero
source address, but for IPv6 that cannot happen as the relevant RFCs
actually forbid such packets:
RFC 2710 (MLDv1):
"To be valid, the Query message MUST
 come from a link-local IPv6 Source Address, be at least 24 octets
 long, and have a correct MLD checksum."

Same goes for RFC 3810.

And also it can be seen as a requirement in ipv6_mc_check_mld_query()
which is used by the bridge to validate the message before processing
it. Thus any queries with :: source address won't be processed anyway.
So just remove the check for zero IPv6 source address from the query
processing function.

Fixes: 5a2de63fd1a5 ("bridge: do not add port to router list when receives query with source 0.0.0.0")
