In contrast to IGMP, the MLDv1/2 message checksum needs to include an
IPv6 "pseudo-header" in the calculations (see RFC2710, section 3.3;
RFC3810, section 5.1.2).

The multicast snooping feature of the bridge code however did not take
this "pseudo-header" into consideration for the checksum validation when
parsing a snooped IPv6 MLDv1/2 message of another host, leading to
possibly ignored, though valid MLDv1/2 messages. This commit shall fix
this issue.

 	case CHECKSUM_NONE:
-		skb2->csum = 0;
+		skb2->csum = ~csum_unfold(csum_ipv6_magic(&ip6h->saddr,

You also need to include the pseudo-header for the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
case, before we've fallen through (which only happens if the
hardware checksum doesn't match).

Thanks,
