Subject: [PATCH net] bridge: mcast: fix disabled snooping after long uptime
The original idea of the delay_time check was to not apply multicast
snooping too early when an MLD querier appears. And to instead wait at
least for MLD reports to arrive before switching from flooding to group
based, MLD snooped forwarding, to avoid temporary packet loss.
However in a batman-adv mesh network it was noticed that after 248 days of
uptime 32bit MIPS based devices would start to signal that they had
stopped applying multicast snooping due to missing queriers - even though
they were the elected querier and still sending MLD queries themselves.
While time_is_before_jiffies() generally is safe against jiffies
wrap-arounds, like the code comments in jiffies.h explain, it won't
be able to track a difference larger than ULONG_MAX/2. With a 32bit
large jiffies and one jiffies tick every 10ms (CONFIG_HZ=100) on these MIPS
devices running OpenWrt this would result in a difference larger than
ULONG_MAX/2 after 248 (= 2^32/100/60/60/24/2) days and
time_is_before_jiffies() would then start to return false instead of
true. Leading to multicast snooping not being applied to multicast
packets anymore.
Fix this issue by using a proper timer_list object which won't have this
ULONG_MAX/2 difference limitation.
Fixes: b00589af3b04 ("bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier")
