With this patch I was able to run netperf over either an > IPv4 or IPv6 address routed over the ip6_vti tunnel. We have the same issue. When we do a local ping to a remote device over a v4 vti tunnel and an intermediate device has a low mtu, pmtu discovery reduces the route's pmtu, and ping fails because it does not handle the local error message generated by xfrm4_tunnel_check_size(). Your patch fixes our issue for v6 vti tunnels, but the issue still exists for v4 tunnels. Is there any particular reason this patch was not delivered for v4 tunnels too - i.e. in vti_xmit()? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
