Nikolay Aleksandrov says:

====================
net: bridge: mcast: add and enforce query interval minimum

This set adds and enforces 1 second minimum value for bridge multicast
query and startup query intervals in order to avoid rearming the timers
too often which could lock and crash the host. I doubt anyone is using
such low values or anything lower than 1 second, so it seems like a good
minimum. In order to be compatible if the value is lower then it is
overwritten and a log message is emitted, since we can't return an error
at this point.

Eric, I looked for the syzbot reports in its dashboard but couldn't find
them so I've added you as the reporter.

I've prepared a global bridge igmp rate limiting patch but wasn't
sure if it's ok for -net. It adds a static limit of 32k packets per
second, I plan to send it for net-next with added drop counters for
each bridge so it can be easily debugged.

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.
