This reverts commit19bda36c42: | ipv6: add mtu lock check in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu | | Prior to this patch, ipv6 didn't do mtu lock check in ip6_update_pmtu. | It leaded to that mtu lock doesn't really work when receiving the pkt | of ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG. | | This patch is to add mtu lock check in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu just as ipv4 | did in __ip_rt_update_pmtu. The above reasoning is incorrect. IPv6 *requires* icmp based pmtu to work. There's already a comment to this effect elsewhere in the kernel: $ git grep -p -B1 -A3 'RTAX_MTU lock' net/ipv6/route.c=4813= static int rt6_mtu_change_route(struct fib6_info *f6i, void *p_arg) ... /* In IPv6 pmtu discovery is not optional, so that RTAX_MTU lock cannot disable it. We still use this lock to block changes caused by addrconf/ndisc. */ This reverts to the pre-4.9 behaviour.

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.
