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.

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 + +Reported-by: Rafał Miłecki +Tested-by: Rafał Miłecki +Fixes: 74235a25c673 ("[IPV6] addrconf: Fix IPv6 on tuntap tunnels") +Fixes: 1666d49e1d41 ("mld: do not remove mld souce list info when set link down") +Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu +Signed-off-by: David S.
