Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv6: Don't send packet to big messages to self

From: Steffen Klassert <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2013 12:48:05 +0100

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.
