It's never really showed up in the past as for pure IP tunnels using pmtudisc is usually a better choice. But now that we have raw Ethernet GRE tunnels that are incapable of doing PMTU within the tunnel, people are running into these bugs as they have to turn pmtudisc off. I've got a number of patches that tries to address this but here is a first to kick things off. ipip: Fix handling of DF packets when pmtudisc is OFF RFC 2003 requires the outer header to have DF set if DF is set on the inner header, even when PMTU discovery is off for the tunnel. Our implementation does exactly that. For this to work properly the IPIP gateway also needs to engate in PMTU when the inner DF bit is set. As otherwise the original host would not be able to carry out its PMTU successfully since part of the path is only visible to the gateway. Unfortunately when the tunnel PMTU discovery setting is off, we do not collect the necessary soft state, resulting in blackholes when the original host tries to perform PMTU discovery. This problem is not reproducible on the IPIP gateway itself as the inner packet usually has skb->local_df set. This is not correctly cleared (an unrelated bug) when the packet passes through the tunnel, which allows fragmentation to occur. For hosts behind the IPIP gateway it is readily visible with a simple ping. This patch fixes the problem by performing PMTU discovery for all packets with the inner DF bit set, regardless of the PMTU discovery setting on the tunnel itself.
