When a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG report a next-hop MTU that is less than the IPv6 minimum link MTU, the estimated path MTU is reduced to the minimum link MTU. This behaviour breaks TAHI IPv6 Core Conformance Test v6LC4.1.6: Packet Too Big Less than IPv6 MTU. Referring to RFC 8201 section 4: "If a node receives a Packet Too Big message reporting a next-hop MTU that is less than the IPv6 minimum link MTU, it must discard it. A node must not reduce its estimate of the Path MTU below the IPv6 minimum link MTU on receipt of a Packet Too Big message." Drop the path MTU update if reported MTU is less than the minimum link MTU. Signed-off-by: Georg Kohmann <geokohma@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
