From d3052b557a1c94c21f50465702fa886753ce6b43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Vagin Date: Sat, 11 Dec 2010 15:20:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: delete expired route in ip6_pmtu_deliver The first big packets sent to a "low-MTU" client correctly triggers the creation of a temporary route containing the reduced MTU. But after the temporary route has expired, new ICMP6 "packet too big" will be sent, rt6_pmtu_discovery will find the previous EXPIRED route check that its mtu isn't bigger then in icmp packet and do nothing before the temporary route will not deleted by gc. I make the simple experiment: while :; do time ( dd if=/dev/zero bs=10K count=1 | ssh hostname dd of=/dev/null ) || break; done The "time" reports real 0m0.197s if a temporary route isn't expired, but it reports real 0m52.837s (!!!!) immediately after a temporare route has expired.
