[ Upstream commit 8930424777e43257f5bf6f0f0f53defd0d30415c ]
Because skb_tunnel_check_pmtu() doesn't handle PACKET_HOST packets,
commit 30a92c9e3d6b ("openvswitch: Set the skbuff pkt_type for proper
pmtud support.") forced skb->pkt_type to PACKET_OUTGOING for
openvswitch packets that are sent using the OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT
action. This allowed such packets to invoke the
iptunnel_pmtud_check_icmp() or iptunnel_pmtud_check_icmpv6() helpers
and thus trigger PMTU update on the input device.
However, this also broke other parts of PMTU discovery. Since these
packets don't have the PACKET_HOST type anymore, they won't trigger the
sending of ICMP Fragmentation Needed or Packet Too Big messages to
remote hosts when oversized (see the skb_in->pkt_type condition in
__icmp_send() for example).
These two skb->pkt_type checks are therefore incompatible as one
requires skb->pkt_type to be PACKET_HOST, while the other requires it
to be anything but PACKET_HOST.
It makes sense to not trigger ICMP messages for non-PACKET_HOST packets
as these messages should be generated only for incoming l2-unicast
packets. However there doesn't seem to be any reason for
skb_tunnel_check_pmtu() to ignore PACKET_HOST packets.
Allow both cases to work by allowing skb_tunnel_check_pmtu() to work on
PACKET_HOST packets and not overriding skb->pkt_type in openvswitch
anymore.
