[PATCH 3.12 07/39] route: Use ipv4_mtu instead of raw rt_pmtu

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Mon Jan 25 2016 - 07:00:47 EST


From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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

===============

commit cb6ccf09d6b94bec4def1ac5cf4678d12b216474 upstream.

The commit 3cdaa5be9e81a914e633a6be7b7d2ef75b528562 ("ipv4: Don't
increase PMTU with Datagram Too Big message") broke PMTU in cases
where the rt_pmtu value has expired but is smaller than the new
PMTU value.

This obsolete rt_pmtu then prevents the new PMTU value from being
installed.

Fixes: 3cdaa5be9e81 ("ipv4: Don't increase PMTU with Datagram Too Big message")
