Subject: [Patch net] bridge: do not expire mdb entry when bridge still uses it
Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2013 10:07:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362708423-23932-1-git-send-email-amwang@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com>
This is a long-standing bug and reported several times:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880035
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136164389416341&w=2
This bug can be observed in virt environment, when a KVM guest
communicates with the host via multicast. After some time (should
be 260 sec, I didn't measure), the multicast traffic suddenly
terminates.
This is due to the mdb entry for bridge itself expires automatically,
it should not expire as long as the bridge still generates multicast
traffic. It should expire when the bridge leaves the multicast group,
OR when there is no multicast traffic on this bridge.
I fix this by adding another bool which is set when there is
multicast traffic goes to the bridge, cleared in the expire timer and
when IGMP leave is received. I ran omping for 15 minutes, everything
looks good now.
