Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 4.19+105+deb10u4
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6

Hey,

linux's cdc_ncm driver has a bug with multicast ethernet traffic, which breaks
mDNS and ipv6, among other things. Miguel Rodríguez Pérez (miguel@det.uvigo.gal)
wrote patches fixing that two years ago, but they never got merged even though
as far as I can tell he fixed all the problems mentionned.
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-usb/list/?submitter=181339&state=%2A&archive=both)

I tried rebasing them on current mainline (5.7.8/5.8.0-rc5) and submit them but
have been met with a lot of trouble with my formatting, and also don't want to
use my real name (see https://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=159467301013480&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=159477625000002&r=1&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=159477644000003&r=1&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=159477680800001&r=1&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=159477644200002&r=1&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=159477662400001&r=1&w=2 etc)

As far as I know nothing should pose any problem with merging these, all the
objections mentionned in the thread are resolved (as far as I can tell, I'm not
a kernel dev), they build correctly on mainline, and work well.

Cheers.
