Hangbin Liu 3d95a5e34b ipv6/addrconf: call ipv6_mc_up() for non-Ethernet interface 
[ Upstream commit 60380488e4 ]

Rafał found an issue that for non-Ethernet interface, if we down and up
frequently, the memory will be consumed slowly.

The reason is we add allnodes/allrouters addressed in multicast list in
ipv6_add_dev(). When link down, we call ipv6_mc_down(), store all multicast
addresses via mld_add_delrec(). But when link up, we don't call ipv6_mc_up()
for non-Ethernet interface to remove the addresses. This makes idev->mc_tomb
getting bigger and bigger. The call stack looks like:

addrconf_notify(NETDEV_REGISTER)
	ipv6_add_dev
		ipv6_dev_mc_inc(ff01::1)
		ipv6_dev_mc_inc(ff02::1)
		ipv6_dev_mc_inc(ff02::2)

addrconf_notify(NETDEV_UP)
	addrconf_dev_config
		/* Alas, we support only Ethernet autoconfiguration. */
		return;

addrconf_notify(NETDEV_DOWN)
	addrconf_ifdown
		ipv6_mc_down
			igmp6_group_dropped(ff02::2)
				mld_add_delrec(ff02::2)
			igmp6_group_dropped(ff02::1)
			igmp6_group_dropped(ff01::1)

After investigating, I can't found a rule to disable multicast on
non-Ethernet interface. In RFC2460, the link could be Ethernet, PPP, ATM,
tunnels, etc. In IPv4, it doesn't check the dev type when calls ip_mc_up()
in inetdev_event(). Even for IPv6, we don't check the dev type and call
ipv6_add_dev(), ipv6_dev_mc_inc() after register device.

So I think it's OK to fix this memory consumer by calling ipv6_mc_up() for
non-Ethernet interface.

v2: Also check IFF_MULTICAST flag to make sure the interface supports
    multicast

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
