Revert "ipv6: add mtu lock check in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu"
This reverts commit 19bda36c : | ipv6: add mtu lock check in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu | | Prior to this patch, ipv6 didn't do mtu lock check in ip6_update_pmtu. | It leaded to that mtu lock doesn't really work when receiving the pkt | of ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG. | | This patch is to add mtu lock check in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu just as ipv4 | did in __ip_rt_update_pmtu. The above reasoning is incorrect. IPv6 *requires* icmp based pmtu to work. There's already a comment to this effect elsewhere in the kernel: $ git grep -p -B1 -A3 'RTAX_MTU lock' net/ipv6/route.c=4813= static int rt6_mtu_change_route(struct fib6_info *f6i, void *p_arg) ... /* In IPv6 pmtu discovery is not optional, so that RTAX_MTU lock cannot disable it. We still use this lock to block changes caused by addrconf/ndisc. */ This reverts to the pre-4.9 behaviour.
