When set multicast_query_interval to a large value, the local variable 'time' in br_multicast_send_query() may overflow. If the time is smaller than jiffies, the timer will expire immediately, and then call mod_timer() again, which creates a loop and may trigger the following soft lockup issue: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 221s!

The simple fix would be to do a min(time, BR_MULTICAST_QUERY_INTVL_MIN), but I'd go for something similar to: commit 99b40610956a Author: Nikolay Aleksandrov [off-list ref] Date: Mon Dec 27 19:21:15 2021 +0200 net: bridge: mcast: add and enforce query interval minimum for the maximum to avoid the overflow altogether. By the way multicast_startup_query_interval would also cause the same issue, so you'd have to cap it. Cheers, Nik
Thanks very much for your suggestions!
Similar to the commit 99b40610956a("net: bridge: mcast: add and enforce
query interval minimum"), it is indeed a better choice to add query
interval maximum:
