Subject: [PATCH RFC net] ip_tunnel: Respect the IP_DF bit of the inner packet.
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 09:09:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141105080930.GE6390@secunet.com> (raw)

The pmtu calculation depends on the IP_DF bit in tnl_update_pmtu().
If the IP_DF bit is set, the pmtu calculation is based on the outer
packet size. Otherwise it is based on the inner packet size.
If xfrm is used after tunneling through an ipip device, the mtu of
the outer device can be lower than the mtu of the ipip device.
Reporting the mtu of the ipip device is wrong in this case. So
respect the IP_DF bit of the inner packet on ipv4 to report the
calculated mtu of the outer device.

Fixes: fd58156e456d ("IPIP: Use ip-tunneling code.")

I marked this as RFC because it affects the mtu calculation of
gre tunnels too. I think it should be ok, but I have no testcase
to confirm the correctness for gre tunnels. So would be good if
someone with gre knowlegde could look at this.

If it turns out that we can't do that for gre, we need to
split this code back into a gre and an ipip version.
