Commit Message

Sven Eckelmann April 13, 2020, 5:52 p.m. UTC
  The Linux Kernel 3.16 reached its end of life [1] after 6 years. Instead it
is recommended to use at least kernel 4.4. It is also already over 4 years
old but still maintained by the stable kernel team. All older kernels
(v3.16 - v4.3) should therefore be dropped to reduce the support overhead.

- *	Linux NET3:	Internet Group Management Protocol  [IGMP]
- *
- *	This code implements the IGMP protocol as defined in RFC1112. There has
- *	been a further revision of this protocol since which is now supported.
- *
- *	If you have trouble with this module be careful what gcc you have used,
- *	the older version didn't come out right using gcc 2.5.8, the newer one
- *	seems to fall out with gcc 2.6.2.
- *
- *	Authors:
- *		Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
- *
- *	Fixes:
- *
- *		Alan Cox	:	Added lots of __inline__ to optimise
- *					the memory usage of all the tiny little
- *					functions.
- *		Alan Cox	:	Dumped the header building experiment.
- *		Alan Cox	:	Minor tweaks ready for multicast routing
- *					and extended IGMP protocol.
- *		Alan Cox	:	Removed a load of inline directives. Gcc 2.5.8
- *					writes utterly bogus code otherwise (sigh)
- *					fixed IGMP loopback to behave in the manner
- *					desired by mrouted, fixed the fact it has been
- *					broken since 1.3.6 and cleaned up a few minor
- *					points.
- *
- *		Chih-Jen Chang	:	Tried to revise IGMP to Version 2
- *		Tsu-Sheng Tsao		E-mail: chihjenc@scf.usc.edu and tsusheng@scf.usc.edu
- *					The enhancements are mainly based on Steve Deering's
- * 					ipmulti-3.5 source code.
- *		Chih-Jen Chang	:	Added the igmp_get_mrouter_info and
- *		Tsu-Sheng Tsao		igmp_set_mrouter_info to keep track of
- *					the mrouted version on that device.
- *		Chih-Jen Chang	:	Added the max_resp_time parameter to
- *		Tsu-Sheng Tsao		igmp_heard_query(). Using this parameter
- *					to identify the multicast router version
- *					and do what the IGMP version 2 specified.
- *		Chih-Jen Chang	:	Added a timer to revert to IGMP V2 router
- *		Tsu-Sheng Tsao		if the specified time expired.
- *		Alan Cox	:	Stop IGMP from 0.0.0.0 being accepted.
- *		Alan Cox	:	Use GFP_ATOMIC in the right places.
- *		Christian Daudt :	igmp timer wasn't set for local group
- *					memberships but was being deleted,
- *					which caused a "del_timer() called
- *					from %p with timer not initialized\n"
- *					message (960131).
- *		Christian Daudt :	removed del_timer from
- *					igmp_timer_expire function (960205).
- *             Christian Daudt :       igmp_heard_report now only calls
- *                                     igmp_timer_expire if tm->running is
- *                                     true (960216).
- *		Malcolm Beattie :	ttl comparison wrong in igmp_rcv made
- *					igmp_heard_query never trigger. Expiry
- *					miscalculation fixed in igmp_heard_query
- *					and random() made to return unsigned to
- *					prevent negative expiry times.
- *		Alexey Kuznetsov:	Wrong group leaving behaviour, backport
- *					fix from pending 2.1.x patches.
- *		Alan Cox:		Forget to enable FDDI support earlier.
- *		Alexey Kuznetsov:	Fixed leaving groups on device down.
- *		Alexey Kuznetsov:	Accordance to igmp-v2-06 draft.
- *		David L Stevens:	IGMPv3 support, with help from
- *					Vinay Kulkarni
