      bridge: simplify ip_mc_check_igmp() and ipv6_mc_check_mld() calls · ba5ea614
      Linus Lüssing authored
      This patch refactors ip_mc_check_igmp(), ipv6_mc_check_mld() and
      their callers (more precisely, the Linux bridge) to not rely on
      the skb_trimmed parameter anymore.
      
      An skb with its tail trimmed to the IP packet length was initially
      introduced for the following three reasons:
      
      1) To be able to verify the ICMPv6 checksum.
      2) To be able to distinguish the version of an IGMP or MLD query.
         They are distinguishable only by their size.
      3) To avoid parsing data for an IGMPv3 or MLDv2 report that is
         beyond the IP packet but still within the skb.
      
      The first case still uses a cloned and potentially trimmed skb to
      verfiy. However, there is no need to propagate it to the caller.
      For the second and third case explicit IP packet length checks were
      added.
      
      This hopefully makes ip_mc_check_igmp() and ipv6_mc_check_mld() easier
      to read and verfiy, as well as easier to use.
