Revert "bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received"
While this commit was a good attempt to fix issues occuring when no
multicast querier is present, this commit still has two more issues:
1) There are cases where mdb entries do not expire even if there is a
querier present. The bridge will unnecessarily continue flooding
multicast packets on the according ports.
2) Never removing an mdb entry could be exploited for a Denial of
Service by an attacker on the local link, slowly, but steadily eating up
all memory.
Actually, this commit became obsolete with
"bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier" (
b00589af3b)
which included fixes for a few more cases.
Therefore reverting the following commits (the commit stated in the
commit message plus three of its follow up fixes):
