code within bridge's multicast snooping code.

Already fixed as part of my patch to fix sparse warnings.

aye, aye.

Yours looks cleaner (I added a temp variable). You might want to submit
patch to switch to your oneline version.

Well, the patch did get into the netdev mailing list. I think your direct reply arrived in my mailbox first before I received my own patch through netdev. By the way, I don't see your patch on net-next git. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of debugging and testing it on my computer. Is there any other repo that I should watch out to avoid this kind of silly situation in the future?

You didn't see it because net-next tree is currently closed/idle until Dave opens it up for next release (3.9)
At this time, the only patches are those in the net tree: 	
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git
Which is where fixes for the current release are staged for Linus.

    bridge: fix icmpv6 endian bug and other sparse warnings
    
    Fix the warnings reported by sparse on recent bridge multicast
    changes. Mostly just rcu annotation issues but in this case
    sparse found a real bug! The ICMPv6 mld2 query mrc
    values is in network byte order.
