[ Upstream commit f83a112bd91a494cdee671aec74e777470fb4a07 ]
As reported[1] if startup query interval is set too low in combination with
large number of startup queries and we have multiple bridges or even a
single bridge with multiple querier vlans configured we can crash the
machine. Add a 1 second minimum which must be enforced by overwriting the
value if set lower (i.e. without returning an error) to avoid breaking
user-space. If that happens a log message is emitted to let the admin know
that the startup interval has been set to the minimum. It doesn't make
sense to make the startup interval lower than the normal query interval
so use the same value of 1 second. The issue has been present since these
intervals could be user-controlled.

README
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.
