[PATCH net-next v4 07/14] net: bridge: mcast: track active state, own MLD querier disappearance
From: Linus Lüssing
Date: Fri Mar 06 2026 - 23:47:38 EST
This change ensures that the new multicast active state variable is
immediately unset if our internal IGMP/MLD querier was elected and
now disabled.
If no IGMP/MLD querier exists on the link then we can't reliably receive
IGMP/MLD reports and in turn can't ensure the completeness of our MDB
anymore either.
No functional change for the fast/data path yet.
