ip: take care of last fragment in ip_append_data
While investigating a bit, I found ip_fragment() slow path was taken because ip_append_data() provides following layout for a send(MTU + N*(MTU - 20)) syscall : - one skb with 1500 (mtu) bytes - N fragments of 1480 (mtu-20) bytes (before adding IP header) last fragment gets 17 bytes of trail data because of following bit: if (datalen == length + fraggap) alloclen += rt->dst.trailer_len; Then esp4 adds 16 bytes of data (while trailer_len is 17... hmm... another bug ?) In ip_fragment(), we notice last fragment is too big (1496 + 20) > mtu, so we take slow path, building another skb chain. In order to avoid taking slow path, we should correct ip_append_data() to make sure last fragment has real trail space, under mtu...
