RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG was added before the first git commit:
https://www.mail-archive.com/bk-commits-head@vger.kernel.org/msg03399.html
The feature would send packets to the fragmentation path if a box
receives a PMTU value with less than 1280 byte. However, since commit
9d289715eb ("ipv6: stop sending PTB packets for MTU < 1280"), such
message would be simply discarded. The feature flag is neither supported
in iproute2 utility. In theory one can still manipulate it with direct
netlink message, but it is not ideal because it was based on obsoleted
guidance of RFC-2460 (replaced by RFC-8200).
The feature would always test false at the moment, so remove related
code or mark them as unused.

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.
