      net: ipv6: mld: get rid of MLDV2_MRC and simplify calculation · e3f5b170
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      Get rid of MLDV2_MRC and use our new macros for mantisse and
      exponent to calculate Maximum Response Delay out of the Maximum
      Response Code.

      net: ipv6: mld: fix v1/v2 switchback timeout to rfc3810, 9.12. · 89225d1c
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      i) RFC3810, 9.2. Query Interval [QI] says:
      
         The Query Interval variable denotes the interval between General
         Queries sent by the Querier. Default value: 125 seconds. [...]
      
      ii) RFC3810, 9.3. Query Response Interval [QRI] says:
      
        The Maximum Response Delay used to calculate the Maximum Response
        Code inserted into the periodic General Queries. Default value:
        10000 (10 seconds) [...] The number of seconds represented by the
        [Query Response Interval] must be less than the [Query Interval].
      
      iii) RFC3810, 9.12. Older Version Querier Present Timeout [OVQPT] says:
      
        The Older Version Querier Present Timeout is the time-out for
        transitioning a host back to MLDv2 Host Compatibility Mode. When an
        MLDv1 query is received, MLDv2 hosts set their Older Version Querier
        Present Timer to [Older Version Querier Present Timeout].
      
        This value MUST be ([Robustness Variable] times (the [Query Interval]
        in the last Query received)) plus ([Query Response Interval]).
      
      Hence, on *default* the timeout results in:
      
        [RV] = 2, [QI] = 125sec, [QRI] = 10sec
        [OVQPT] = [RV] * [QI] + [QRI] = 260sec
      
      Having that said, we currently calculate [OVQPT] (here given as 'switchback'
      variable) as ...
      
        switchback = (idev->mc_qrv + 1) * max_delay
      
      RFC3810, 9.12. says "the [Query Interval] in the last Query received". In
      section "9.14. Configuring timers", it is said:
      
        This section is meant to provide advice to network administrators on
        how to tune these settings to their network. Ambitious router
        implementations might tune these settings dynamically based upon
        changing characteristics of the network. [...]
      
      iv) RFC38010, 9.14.2. Query Interval:
      
        The overall level of periodic MLD traffic is inversely proportional
        to the Query Interval. A longer Query Interval results in a lower
        overall level of MLD traffic. The value of the Query Interval MUST
        be equal to or greater than the Maximum Response Delay used to
        calculate the Maximum Response Code inserted in General Query
        messages.
      
      I assume that was why switchback is calculated as is (3 * max_delay), although
      this setting seems to be meant for routers only to configure their [QI]
      interval for non-default intervals. So usage here like this is clearly wrong.
      
      Concluding, the current behaviour in IPv6's multicast code is not conform
      to the RFC as switch back is calculated wrongly. That is, it has a too small
      value, so MLDv2 hosts switch back again to MLDv2 way too early, i.e. ~30secs
      instead of ~260secs on default.
      
      Hence, introduce necessary helper functions and fix this up properly as it
      should be.
      
      Introduced in 06da92283 ("[IPV6]: Add MLDv2 support."). Credits to Hannes
      Frederic Sowa who also had a hand in this as well. Also thanks to Hangbin Liu
      who did initial testing.
