This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ip_tunnel: fix ipv4 pmtu check to honor inner ip header df to the 4.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ip_tunnel-fix-ipv4-pmtu-check-to-honor-inner-ip-header-df.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Sat Sep 26 11:13:07 PDT 2015 From: =?UTF-8?q?Timo=20Ter=C3=A4s?= <timo.teras@xxxxxx> Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 08:34:13 +0300 Subject: ip_tunnel: fix ipv4 pmtu check to honor inner ip header df MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: =?UTF-8?q?Timo=20Ter=C3=A4s?= <timo.teras@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fc24f2b2094366da8786f59f2606307e934cea17 ] Frag needed should be sent only if the inner header asked to not fragment. Currently fragmentation is broken if the tunnel has df set, but df was not asked in the original packet. The tunnel's df needs to be still checked to update internally the pmtu cache. Commit 23a3647bc4f93bac broke it, and this commit fixes the ipv4 df check back to the way it was. Fixes: 23a3647bc4f93bac ("ip_tunnels: Use skb-len to PMTU check.")
