Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv6: Don't send packet to big messages to self
Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2013 12:48:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130205114804.GH23291@secunet.com> (raw)

Calling icmpv6_send() on a local message size error leads to an
incorrect update of the path mtu in the case when IPsec is used.
So use ipv6_local_error() instead to notify the socket about the
error.
