Package: linux-image-amd64 Version: 4.19+105+deb10u4 Severity: important Tags: ipv6
Hey, linux's cdc_ncm driver has a bug with multicast ethernet traffic, which breaks mDNS and ipv6, among other things. Miguel Rodríguez Pérez (mig...@det.uvigo.gal) wrote patches fixing that two years ago, but they never got merged even though as far as I can tell he fixed all the problems mentionned. (https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-usb/list/?submitter=181339&state=%2A&archive=both) I tried rebasing them on current mainline (5.7.8/5.8.0-rc5) and submit them but have been met with a lot of trouble with my formatting, and also don't want to use my real name (see https://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=159467301013480&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=159477625000002&r=1&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=159477644000003&r=1&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=159477680800001&r=1&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=159477644200002&r=1&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=159477662400001&r=1&w=2 etc) As far as I know nothing should pose any problem with merging these, all the objections mentionned in the thread are resolved (as far as I can tell, I'm not a kernel dev), they build correctly on mainline, and work well.
