Subject: [PATCH net v2 4/5] ipv4: restrict igmp_qrv to 255
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 18:45:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027104701.296240-5-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027104701.296240-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>

net.ipv4.igmp_qrv only has a lower bound, but ip_mc_reset() stores it
into the u8 in_device::mr_qrv, and the IGMPv3 retransmit counters filled
from it (crcount, sf_crcount) are u8 as well. Anything above 255
silently wraps. With 256, mr_qrv becomes 0, every
"in_dev->mr_qrv ?: sysctl_igmp_qrv" falls back to 256, which truncates
to 0 again in crcount, and igmpv3_send_cr() never puts the state change
records for the group into a report. The older version querier present
timeout (mr_qrv * mr_qi + mr_qri) also collapses to just mr_qri.

Make the sysctl a u8 like mr_qrv and switch to proc_dou8vec_minmax(),
which rejects anything above 255, and document it.

Fixes: a9fe8e29945d ("ipv4: implement igmp_qrv sysctl to tune igmp robustness variable")

For AI review: drivers/net/amt.c writing sysctl_igmp_qrv into the 3-bit
qrv wire fields is pre-existing and out of scope for this patch.

v2: switched to u8 and proc_dou8vec_minmax(), as suggested by Kuniyuki
Iwashima.
