Subject: Re: [Patch net-next] net: rename local_df to ignore_df

I've been wondering whether 'allow_frag' or 'allow_local_frag' or
'ignore_df_set' wouldn't be better names.

At some point we'll need to add a flag which does the opposite as well
(for locally generated tcp packets in non path mtu discovery mode),
'disallow_frag' or 'disallow_local_frag',  'force_df' or something
like that.  Picking two names which both are obvious and work well in
concert would be nice.
