Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ipv4: Don't create nh exeption when the device mtu is smaller than the reported pmtu

From: Steffen Klassert <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 10:48:18 +0200

When a local tool like tracepath tries to send packets bigger than
the device mtu, we create a nh exeption and set the pmtu to device
mtu. The device mtu does not expire, so check if the device mtu is
smaller than the reported pmtu and don't crerate a nh exeption in
that case.
