Re: [PATCH v3 1/1] igmp: call ip_mc_clear_src() only when we have no users of ip_mc_list

Veaceslav,
        It looks to me like this will leak the source filters if we are 
called from ip_mc_destroy_dev(),
Even with your previous patch, you're assuming that we don't free the 
ip_mc_list and so we have the
same one when we up the device, but if there are no timers running, it 
looks like refcnt canl go to 0 and free
it. If we can ever free the ip_mc_list when users != 0 (or going to 0 
immediately after the drop), we
have to do the ip_mc_clear_src() or leak the list. I haven't looked at 
this code in years, so I'll need
to refresh my memory.
        So, I'll look at that a bit more; at a minimum, I think you need 
to do the clear_src
also in the destroy case. We could lose the filters and set the exclude 
count to users, instead
of 1; but I like the idea of keeping the source filters across a down/up, 
if we can be sure there
are no cases where we free the ip_mc_list without first freeing all the 
filters.

                                                                +-DLS

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] igmp: call ip_mc_clear_src() only when we 
have no users of ip_mc_list

In igmp_group_dropped() we call ip_mc_clear_src(), which resets the 
number
of source filters per mulitcast. However, igmp_group_dropped() is also
called on NETDEV_DOWN, NETDEV_PRE_TYPE_CHANGE and NETDEV_UNREGISTER, 
which
means that the group might get added back on NETDEV_UP, NETDEV_REGISTER 
and
NETDEV_POST_TYPE_CHANGE respectively, leaving us with broken source
filters.

To fix that, we must clear the source filters only when there are no 
users
quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
in the ip_mc_list, i.e. in ip_mc_dec_group().

Correct version of the patch.
