Subject: [PATCH] bridge: update mdb expiration timer upon reports.
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:57:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381435079-15387-1-git-send-email-vyasevic@redhat.com> (raw)
commit 9f00b2e7cf241fa389733d41b615efdaa2cb0f5b
bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received
changed the mdb expiration timer to be armed only when QUERY is
received. Howerver, this causes issues in an environment where
the multicast server socket comes and goes very fast while a client
is trying to send traffic to it.
The root cause is a race where a sequence of LEAVE followed by REPORT
messages can race against QUERY messages generated in response to LEAVE.
The QUERY ends up starting the expiration timer, and that timer can
potentially expire after the new REPORT message has been received signaling
the new join operation. This leads to a significant drop in multicast
traffic and possible complete stall.
The solution is to have REPORT messages update the expiration timer
on entries that already exist.
