net.ipv6.mld_qrv only has a lower bound, but ipv6_mc_reset() stores it into the u8 inet6_dev::mc_qrv, and every MLD retransmit counter derived from it (mca_crcount, sf_crcount, mc_ifc_count, mc_dad_count) is u8 as well. Anything above 255 silently wraps: 256 becomes 0, so no state change report is ever retransmitted, and the first MLDv2 Query received on the interface then trips the WARN_ON() in mld_update_qrv(): WARN_ON(idev->mc_qrv == 0); A plain bridge with mcast_querier enabled on the link is enough: WARNING: net/ipv6/mcast.c:1327 at mld_query_work+0x1fd2/0x2cb0, CPU#3: kworker/3:1/2688 Workqueue: mld mld_query_work RIP: 0010:mld_query_work+0x1fd2/0x2cb0 Call Trace: process_one_work+0x93a/0x1b20 worker_thread+0x6d0/0x11d0 kthread+0x358/0x470 ret_from_fork+0x5b3/0x820 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 Cap the sysctl at U8_MAX, the largest value mc_qrv can actually hold.
