Wang Liang 96476b043e net: bridge: fix soft lockup in br_multicast_query_expired()
[ Upstream commit d1547bf460baec718b3398365f8de33d25c5f36f ]

When set multicast_query_interval to a large value, the local variable
'time' in br_multicast_send_query() may overflow. If the time is smaller
than jiffies, the timer will expire immediately, and then call mod_timer()
again, which creates a loop and may trigger the following soft lockup
issue.

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 221s! [rb_consumer:66]
  CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 66 Comm: rb_consumer Not tainted 6.16.0+ #259 PREEMPT(none)

This issue can be reproduced with:
  ip link add br0 type bridge
  echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/multicast_querier
  echo 0xffffffffffffffff >
  	/sys/class/net/br0/bridge/multicast_query_interval
  ip link set dev br0 up

The multicast_startup_query_interval can also cause this issue. Similar to
the commit 99b4061095 ("net: bridge: mcast: add and enforce query
interval minimum"), add check for the query interval maximum to fix this
issue.

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.

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.
