3.16.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ad0ea1989cc4d5905941d0a9e62c63ad6d859cef upstream. Currently, ingress ipv4 broadcast datagrams are dropped since, in udp_v4_early_demux(), ip_check_mc_rcu() is invoked even on bcast packets. This patch addresses the issue, invoking ip_check_mc_rcu() only for mcast packets.
