net: bridge: mcast: fix broken length + header check for MRDv6 Adv.

The IPv6 Multicast Router Advertisements parsing has the following two
issues:

For one thing, ICMPv6 MRD Advertisements are smaller than ICMPv6 MLD
messages (ICMPv6 MRD Adv.: 8 bytes vs. ICMPv6 MLDv1/2: >= 24 bytes,
assuming MLDv2 Reports with at least one multicast address entry).
When ipv6_mc_check_mld_msg() tries to parse an Multicast Router
Advertisement its MLD length check will fail - and it will wrongly
return -EINVAL, even if we have a valid MRD Advertisement. With the
returned -EINVAL the bridge code will assume a broken packet and will
wrongly discard it, potentially leading to multicast packet loss towards
multicast routers.

The second issue is the MRD header parsing in
br_ip6_multicast_mrd_rcv(): It wrongly checks for an ICMPv6 header
immediately after the IPv6 header (IPv6 next header type). However
according to RFC4286, section 2 all MRD messages contain a Router Alert
option (just like MLD). So instead there is an IPv6 Hop-by-Hop option
for the Router Alert between the IPv6 and ICMPv6 header, again leading
to the bridge wrongly discarding Multicast Router Advertisements.

To fix these two issues, introduce a new return value -ENODATA to
ipv6_mc_check_mld() to indicate a valid ICMPv6 packet with a hop-by-hop
option which is not an MLD but potentially an MRD packet. This also
simplifies further parsing in the bridge code, as ipv6_mc_check_mld()
already fully checks the ICMPv6 header and hop-by-hop option.

These issues were found and fixed with the help of the mrdisc tool
(https://github.com/troglobit/mrdisc).

bridge: Snoop Multicast Router Advertisements

When multiple multicast routers are present in a broadcast domain then
only one of them will be detectable via IGMP/MLD query snooping. The
multicast router with the lowest IP address will become the selected and
active querier while all other multicast routers will then refrain from
sending queries.

To detect such rather silent multicast routers, too, RFC4286
("Multicast Router Discovery") provides a standardized protocol to
detect multicast routers for multicast snooping switches.

This patch implements the necessary MRD Advertisement message parsing
and after successful processing adds such routers to the internal
multicast router list.

bridge: simplify ip_mc_check_igmp() and ipv6_mc_check_mld() internals

With this patch the internal use of the skb_trimmed is reduced to
the ICMPv6/IGMP checksum verification. And for the length checks
the newly introduced helper functions are used instead of calculating
and checking with skb->len directly.

These changes should hopefully make it easier to verify that length
checks are performed properly.

# ba5ea614 20-Jan-2019 Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@c0d3.blue>

bridge: simplify ip_mc_check_igmp() and ipv6_mc_check_mld() calls

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.

net: fix wrong skb_get() usage / crash in IGMP/MLD parsing code

The recent refactoring of the IGMP and MLD parsing code into
ipv6_mc_check_mld() / ip_mc_check_igmp() introduced a potential crash /
BUG() invocation for bridges:

I wrongly assumed that skb_get() could be used as a simple reference
counter for an skb which is not the case. skb_get() bears additional
semantics, a user count. This leads to a BUG() invocation in
pskb_expand_head() / kernel panic if pskb_may_pull() is called on an skb
with a user count greater than one - unfortunately the refactoring did
just that.

Fixing this by removing the skb_get() call and changing the API: The
caller of ipv6_mc_check_mld() / ip_mc_check_igmp() now needs to
additionally check whether the returned skb_trimmed is a clone.

net: Export IGMP/MLD message validation code

With this patch, the IGMP and MLD message validation functions are moved
from the bridge code to IPv4/IPv6 multicast files. Some small
refactoring was done to enhance readibility and to iron out some
differences in behaviour between the IGMP and MLD parsing code (e.g. the
skb-cloning of MLD messages is now only done if necessary, just like the
IGMP part always did).

Finally, these IGMP and MLD message validation functions are exported so
that not only the bridge can use it but batman-adv later, too.
