[PATCH 4.1 02/29] vxlan: re-ignore EADDRINUSE from igmp_join

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 01 2015 - 05:32:58 EST


4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit bef0057b7ba881d5ae67eec876df7a26fe672a59 ]

Before 56ef9c909b40[1] it used to ignore all errors from igmp_join().
That commit enhanced that and made it error out whatever error happened
with igmp_join(), but that's not good because when using multicast
groups vxlan will try to join it multiple times if the socket is reused
and then the 2nd and further attempts will fail with EADDRINUSE.

As we don't track to which groups the socket is already subscribed, it's
okay to just ignore that error.

Fixes: 56ef9c909b40 ("vxlan: Move socket initialization to within rtnl scope")
