    net: bridge: multicast: optimize TO_INCLUDE EHT timeouts · b66bf55b
    Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
    This is an optimization specifically for TO_INCLUDE which sends queries
    for the older entries and thus lowers the S,G timers to LMQT. If we have
    the following situation for a group in either include or exclude mode:
     - host A was interested in srcs X and Y, but is timing out
     - host B sends TO_INCLUDE src Z, the bridge lowers X and Y's timeouts
       to LMQT
     - host B sends BLOCK src Z after LMQT time has passed
     => since host B is the last host we can delete the group, but if we
        still have host A's EHT entries for X and Y (i.e. if they weren't
        lowered to LMQT previously) then we'll have to wait another LMQT
        time before deleting the group, with this optimization we can
        directly remove it regardless of the group mode as there are no more
        interested hosts
