If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9a5613afcc2f2c5729b3ba8b3402c87e74f69e56 Author: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Oct 28 05:36:02 2021 -0400 sctp: reset probe_timer in sctp_transport_pl_update [ Upstream commit c6ea04ea692fa0d8e7faeb133fcd28e3acf470a0 ] sctp_transport_pl_update() is called when transport update its dst and pathmtu, instead of stopping the PLPMTUD probe timer, PLPMTUD should start over and reset the probe timer. Otherwise, the PLPMTUD service would stop. Fixes: 92548ec2f1f9 ("sctp: add the probe timer in transport for PLPMTUD") Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
