[PATCH stable 0/4] net: mscc: ocelot: allow unregistered IP multicast flooding

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series contains 4 patches (1 for each stable branch: 4.19, 5.4, 5.10 and 5.15)
which fix 2 variations of the same problem:

- Between kernels 4.18 and 5.12, IP multicast flooding on ocelot ports
  is completely broken, both for autonomous forwarding and for local CPU
  termination. The patches for 4.19 and for 5.10 fix this.

- Between kernels 5.12 and 5.18, the flooding problem has been fixed for
  autonomously forwarded IP multicast flows via a new feature commit
  which cannot be backported, but still remains broken for local CPU
  termination. The patch for 5.15 fixes this.

After kernel 5.18, the CPU flooding problem has also been fixed via a
new feature commit which also cannot be backported. So in the current
"net" tree, both kinds of IP multicast flooding work properly, and this
is the reason why these patches target just the "stable" trees.
