From bbd725435ddb1cac732f7a8c23c21ff67f24c60f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Meissner Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 04:47:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] IPv4: unresolved multicast route cleanup Fixes the expiration timer for unresolved multicast route entries. In case new multicast routing requests come in faster than the expiration timeout occurs (e.g. zap through multicast TV streams), the timer is prevented from being called at time for already existing entries. As the single timer is resetted to default whenever a new entry is made, the timeout for existing unresolved entires are missed and/or not updated. As a consequence new requests are denied when the limit of unresolved entries has been reached because old entries live longer than they are supposed to. The solution is to reset the timer only for the first unresolved entry in the multicast routing cache. All other timers are already set and updated correctly within the timer function itself by now.
