[PATCH net v2 0/2] net: ipv4: fixes for PMTU when link MTU changes

[PATCH net v2 0/2] net: ipv4: fixes for PMTU when link MTU changes

[Sabrina Dubroca]

The first patch adapts the changes that commit e9fa1495d738 ("ipv6:
Reflect MTU changes on PMTU of exceptions for MTU-less routes") did in
IPv6 to IPv4: lower PMTU when the first hop's MTU drops below it, and
raise PMTU when the first hop was limiting PMTU discovery and its MTU
is increased.

The second patch fixes bugs introduced in commit d52e5a7e7ca4 ("ipv4:
lock mtu in fnhe when received PMTU < net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu") that
only appear once the first patch is applied.

Selftests for these cases were introduced in net-next commit
e44e428f59e4 ("selftests: pmtu: add basic IPv4 and IPv6 PMTU tests")

v2: add cover letter, and fix a few small things in patch 1

  net: ipv4: update fnhe_pmtu when first hop's MTU changes
  net: ipv4: don't let PMTU updates increase route MTU

[PATCH net v2 1/2] net: ipv4: update fnhe_pmtu when first hop's MTU changes

[Sabrina Dubroca]

Since commit 5aad1de5ea2c ("ipv4: use separate genid for next hop
exceptions"), exceptions get deprecated separately from cached
routes. In particular, administrative changes don't clear PMTU anymore.

As Stefano described in commit e9fa1495d738 ("ipv6: Reflect MTU changes
on PMTU of exceptions for MTU-less routes"), the PMTU discovered before
the local MTU change can become stale:
 - if the local MTU is now lower than the PMTU, that PMTU is now
   incorrect
 - if the local MTU was the lowest value in the path, and is increased,
   we might discover a higher PMTU

Similarly to what commit e9fa1495d738 did for IPv6, update PMTU in those
cases.

If the exception was locked, the discovered PMTU was smaller than the
minimal accepted PMTU. In that case, if the new local MTU is smaller
than the current PMTU, let PMTU discovery figure out if locking of the
exception is still needed.

To do this, we need to know the old link MTU in the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU
notifier. By the time the notifier is called, dev->mtu has been
changed. This patch adds the old MTU as additional information in the
notifier structure, and a new call_netdevice_notifiers_u32() function.

[PATCH net v2 2/2] net: ipv4: don't let PMTU updates increase route MTU

[Sabrina Dubroca]

When an MTU update with PMTU smaller than net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu is
received, we must clamp its value. However, we can receive a PMTU
exception with PMTU < old_mtu < ip_rt_min_pmtu, which would lead to an
increase in PMTU.

To fix this, take the smallest of the old MTU and ip_rt_min_pmtu.

Before this patch, in case of an update, the exception's MTU would
always change. Now, an exception can have only its lock flag updated,
but not the MTU, so we need to add a check on locking to the following
"is this exception getting updated, or close to expiring?" test.
