Subject: bridge: fix parsing of MLDv2 reports
From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 47cc84ce0c2fe75c99ea5963c4b5704dd78ead54 ]
When more than a multicast address is present in a MLDv2 report, all but the first address is ignored, because the code breaks out of the loop if there has not been an error adding that address.
This has caused failures when two guests connected through the bridge tried to communicate using IPv6. Neighbor discoveries would not be transmitted to the other guest when both used a link-local address and a static address.
This only happens when there is a MLDv2 querier in the network.
The fix will only break out of the loop when there is a failure adding a multicast address.
