From 261663b0ee2ee8e3947f4c11c1a08be18cd2cea1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steffen Klassert Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 02:14:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: Don't use the cached pmtu informations for input routes The pmtu informations on the inetpeer are visible for output and input routes. On packet forwarding, we might propagate a learned pmtu to the sender. As we update the pmtu informations of the inetpeer on demand, the original sender of the forwarded packets might never notice when the pmtu to that inetpeer increases. So use the mtu of the outgoing device on packet forwarding instead of the pmtu to the final destination. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert Signed-off-by: David S.
