            Bug ID: 99081
           Summary: Bridge multicast snooping breaks ICMPv6
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.0.4
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: shemminger@...ux-foundation.org
          Reporter: sgunderson@...foot.com
        Regression: No

Hi,

I've seen this reported many times around the net, with no definite solution;
since I got hit by it again and now used the latest kernel, I thought the best
place would be the kernel Bugzilla.

I have a bridge br0 with eth0 on it, and then some tap devices from KVM guests.
In this situation, by default, I don't have IPv6. I can't ping anything because
ND fails. I've seen this over multiple kernel versions for years, so I'm fairly
certain this is not something about my specific setup.

The common workaround is:

 echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/net/br0/bridge/multicast_snooping 

which immediately makes IPv6 work well again.

IPv6 unicast is unaffected; only multicast (ie., ND) seems to have the problem.
