Subject: Re: IPv6 multicast snooping behaviour on 2.6.39-rc2 and later
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 02:24:07 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E53E237.1060401@sfc.wide.ad.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4E53B360.8090107@sfc.wide.ad.jp>

This is what I found so far from debugging.

The packet is not forwarded due to the failed checksum at br_multicast.c:1533

         case CHECKSUM_NONE:
                 skb2->csum = 0;
                 if (skb_checksum_complete(skb2))
                         goto out;
         }

Contrary to description of commit ff9a57a6, when the patch of commit ff9a57a6 is applied,
pskb_trim_rcsum is never called at all on my testbed. When commit ff9a57a6 is reverted,
pskb_trim_rcsum will be called. The difference is:

with commit ff9a57a6,
    pskb_trim_rcsum is never called, br_multicast_ipv6_rcv returns -EINVAL which causes
    br_handle_frame_finish to drop the packet

without commit ff9a57a6,
    pskb_trim_rcsum is called overwriting err with 0. br_multicast_ipv6_rcv still fails on the
    same line (skb_checksum_complete). But the difference is err is set to 0 this time. Thereby,
    allowing the packet to be forwarded.

Anyway, I don't think the behaviour is correct with or without commit ff9a57a6
