sctp_transport_pl_hlen() is called to calculate the outer header length for PL. However, as the Figure in rfc8899#section-4.4: Any additional headers .--- MPS -----. | | | v v v +------------------------------+ | IP | ** | PL | protocol data | +------------------------------+ <----- PLPMTU -----> <---------- PMTU --------------> Outer header are IP + Any additional headers, which doesn't include Packetization Layer itself header, namely sctphdr, whereas sctphdr is counted by __sctp_mtu_payload(). The incorrect calculation caused the link pathmtu to be set larger than expected by t->pl.pmtu + sctp_transport_pl_hlen(). This patch is to fix it by subtracting sctphdr len in sctp_transport_pl_hlen().
