Subject: [PATCH net 3/5] ipv6: restrict mld_qrv to 255
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 17:13:29 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023091419.167088-4-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023091419.167088-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>

net.ipv6.mld_qrv only has a lower bound, but ipv6_mc_reset() stores it
into the u8 inet6_dev::mc_qrv, and every MLD retransmit counter derived
from it (mca_crcount, sf_crcount, mc_ifc_count, mc_dad_count) is u8 as
well. Anything above 255 silently wraps: 256 becomes 0, so no state
change report is ever retransmitted, and the first MLDv2 Query received
on the interface then trips the WARN_ON() in mld_update_qrv():

	WARN_ON(idev->mc_qrv == 0);

A plain bridge with mcast_querier enabled on the link is enough:

  WARNING: net/ipv6/mcast.c:1327 at mld_query_work+0x1fd2/0x2cb0, CPU#3: kworker/3:1/2688
  Workqueue: mld mld_query_work
  RIP: 0010:mld_query_work+0x1fd2/0x2cb0
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   process_one_work+0x93a/0x1b20
   worker_thread+0x6d0/0x11d0

   ret_from_fork+0x5b3/0x820
   ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30
   </TASK>

Cap the sysctl at U8_MAX, the largest value mc_qrv can actually hold.
