Subject: [PATCH BUG-FIX] ipv6: allow to send packet after receiving ICMPv6 Too Big message with MTU field less than  IPV6_MIN_MTU
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:58:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BCBC6CE.9020302@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)


According to RFC2460, PMTU is set to the IPv6 Minimum Link
MTU (1280) and a fragment header should always be included
after a node receiving Too Big message reporting PMTU is
less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU.

After receiving a ICMPv6 Too Big message reporting PMTU is
less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU, sctp *can't* send any
data/control chunk that total length including IPv6 head 
and IPv6 extend head is less than IPV6_MIN_MTU(1280 bytes).

The failure occured in p6_fragment(), about reason 
see following(take SHUTDOWN chunk for example):
sctp_packet_transmit (SHUTDOWN chunk, len=16 byte)
|------sctp_v6_xmit (local_df=0)
   |------ip6_xmit
       |------ip6_output (dst_allfrag is ture)
           |------ip6_fragment

In ip6_fragment(), for local_df=0, drops the the packet
and returns EMSGSIZE.

The patch fixes it with adding check length of skb->len.
In this case, Ipv6 not to fragment upper protocol data,
just only add a fragment header before it.
