[PATCH 4.4 03/80] vti6: fix PMTU caching and reporting on xmit

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 03 2018 - 12:53:51 EST


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

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

From: Eyal Birger <eyal.birger@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d6990976af7c5d8f55903bfb4289b6fb030bf754 ]

When setting the skb->dst before doing the MTU check, the route PMTU
caching and reporting is done on the new dst which is about to be
released.

Instead, PMTU handling should be done using the original dst.

This is aligned with IPv4 VTI.

Fixes: ccd740cbc6 ("vti6: Add pmtu handling to vti6_xmit.")
