4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit c7272c2f1229125f74f22dcdd59de9bbd804f1c8 ]
According to RFC 1191 sections 3 and 4, ICMP frag-needed messages
indicating an MTU below 68 should be rejected:
A host MUST never reduce its estimate of the Path MTU below 68
octets.
and (talking about ICMP frag-needed's Next-Hop MTU field):
This field will never contain a value less than 68, since every
router "must be able to forward a datagram of 68 octets without
fragmentation".
Furthermore, by letting net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu be set to negative
values, we can end up with a very large PMTU when (-1) is cast into u32.
Let's also make ip_rt_min_pmtu a u32, since it's only ever compared to
unsigned ints.
