[PATCH 3.8 069/121] netfilter: ipv4: defrag: set local_df flag on defragmented skb

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.24 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 895162b1101b3ea5db08ca6822ae9672717efec0 upstream.

else we may fail to forward skb even if original fragments do fit
outgoing link mtu:

1. remote sends 2k packets in two 1000 byte frags, DF set
2. we want to forward but only see '2k > mtu and DF set'
3. we then send icmp error saying that outgoing link is 1500

But original sender never sent a packet that would not fit
the outgoing link.

Setting local_df makes outgoing path test size vs.
IPCB(skb)->frag_max_size, so we will still send the correct
error in case the largest original size did not fit
outgoing link mtu.
