Subject: igmp: Allow mininum interval specification for igmp timers.
IGMP timers sometimes fire too rapidly due to randomization of the
intervalsfrom 0 to max_delay in igmp_start_timer(). For some situations
(like the initial IGMP reports that are not responses to an IGMP query) we
do not want them in too rapid succession otherwise all the initial reports
may be lost due to a race conditions with the reconfiguration of the
routers and switches going on via the link layer (like on Infiniband). If
those are lost then the router will only discover that a new mc group was
joined when the igmp query was sent. General IGMP queries may be sent
rarely on large fabrics resulting in excessively long wait times until
data starts flowing. The application may abort before then concluding that
the network hardware is not operational.
The worst case scenario without the changes will send 3 igmp reports on join:
First 3 jiffies ("immediate" (spec) ~3 ms)
Second 3 jiffies (randomization leads to shortest interval) 3 ms
Third 3 jiffies (randomization leads to shortest interval) 3 ms
Which may result in a total of less than 10ms until the kernel gives up sending
igmp requests.
Change the IGMP layer to allow the specification of minimum and maximum delay.
Calculate the IGMP_Unsolicated_Report interval based on what the interval
before this patch would be on a 100HZ kernel. 3 jiffies at 100 HZ would result
in a mininum ~30 milliseconds spacing between the initial two IGMP reports.
Round it up to 40ms.
This will result in 3 initial unsolicited reports
First "immediately" 3 jiffies (~ 3ms)
Second randomized 40ms to 10seconds later
Third randomized 40ms to 10seconds later
So a mininum of ~83ms will pass before the unsolicted reports are
given up.
