When permanent entries were introduced by the commit below, they were
exempt from timing out and thus igmp leave wouldn't affect them unless
fast leave was enabled on the port which was added before permanent
entries existed. It shouldn't matter if fast leave is enabled or not
if the user added a permanent entry it shouldn't be deleted on igmp
leave.

Before:
$ echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/net/eth4/brport/multicast_fast_leave
$ bridge mdb add dev br0 port eth4 grp 229.1.1.1 permanent
$ bridge mdb show
dev br0 port eth4 grp 229.1.1.1 permanent

&lt; join and leave 229.1.1.1 on eth4 &gt;

$ bridge mdb show
$

After:
$ echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/net/eth4/brport/multicast_fast_leave
$ bridge mdb add dev br0 port eth4 grp 229.1.1.1 permanent
$ bridge mdb show
dev br0 port eth4 grp 229.1.1.1 permanent

&lt; join and leave 229.1.1.1 on eth4 &gt;

$ bridge mdb show
dev br0 port eth4 grp 229.1.1.1 permanent

<title>net: bridge: mcast: fix stale ipv6 hdr pointer when handling v6 query</title>

We get a pointer to the ipv6 hdr in br_ip6_multicast_query but we may
call pskb_may_pull afterwards and end up using a stale pointer.
So use the header directly, it's just 1 place where it's needed.

We take a pointer to grec prior to calling pskb_may_pull and use it
afterwards to get nsrcs so record nsrcs before the pull when handling
igmp3 and we get a pointer to nsrcs and call pskb_may_pull when handling
mld2 which again could lead to reading 2 bytes out-of-bounds.

br_multicast_start_querier() walks over the port list but it can be
called from a timer with only multicast_lock held which doesn't protect

This patch changes rhashtables to use a bit_spin_lock on BIT(1) of the
bucket pointer to lock the hash chain for that bucket.

The benefits of a bit spin_lock are:
 - no need to allocate a separate array of locks.
 - no need to have a configuration option to guide the
   choice of the size of this array
 - locking cost is often a single test-and-set in a cache line
   that will have to be loaded anyway.  When inserting at, or removing
   from, the head of the chain, the unlock is free - writing the new
   address in the bucket head implicitly clears the lock bit.
   For __rhashtable_insert_fast() we ensure this always happens
   when adding a new key.
 - even when lockings costs 2 updates (lock and unlock), they are
   in a cacheline that needs to be read anyway.

The cost of using a bit spin_lock is a little bit of code complexity,
which I think is quite manageable.

Bit spin_locks are sometimes inappropriate because they are not fair -
if multiple CPUs repeatedly contend of the same lock, one CPU can
easily be starved.  This is not a credible situation with rhashtable.
Multiple CPUs may want to repeatedly add or remove objects, but they
will typically do so at different buckets, so they will attempt to
acquire different locks.

As we have more bit-locks than we previously had spinlocks (by at
least a factor of two) we can expect slightly less contention to
go with the slightly better cache behavior and reduced memory
consumption.

To enhance type checking, a new struct is introduced to represent the
  pointer plus lock-bit
that is stored in the bucket-table.  This is "struct rhash_lock_head"
and is empty.  A pointer to this needs to be cast to either an
unsigned lock, or a "struct rhash_head *" to be useful.
Variables of this type are most often called "bkt".

Previously "pprev" would sometimes point to a bucket, and sometimes a
-&gt;next pointer in an rhash_head.  As these are now different types,
pprev is NULL when it would have pointed to the bucket. In that case,
'blk' is used, together with correct locking protocol.

Since the mcast conversion to rhashtable this function has been unused, so
remove it.

We need to be careful and always zero the whole br_ip struct when it is
used for matching since the rhashtable change. This patch fixes all the
places which didn't properly clear it which in turn might've caused
mismatches.

Thanks for the great bug report with reproducing steps and bisection.

Steps to reproduce (from the bug report):
ip link add br0 type bridge mcast_querier 1
ip link set br0 up

ip link add v2 type veth peer name v3
ip link set v2 master br0
ip link set v2 up
ip link set v3 up
ip addr add 3.0.0.2/24 dev v3

ip netns add test
ip link add v1 type veth peer name v1 netns test
ip link set v1 master br0
ip link set v1 up
ip -n test link set v1 up
ip -n test addr add 3.0.0.1/24 dev v1

# Multicast receiver
ip netns exec test socat
UDP4-RECVFROM:5588,ip-add-membership=224.224.224.224:3.0.0.1,fork -

# Multicast sender
echo hello | nc -u -s 3.0.0.2 224.224.224.224 5588
