Subject: [ 69/85] ipv4: Dont create nh exeption when the device mtu is smaller than the reported pmtu
3.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@...unet.com>
[ Upstream commit 7f92d334ba19a0d8e96f8f8f092219553367d921 ]
When a local tool like tracepath tries to send packets bigger than
the device mtu, we create a nh exeption and set the pmtu to device
mtu. The device mtu does not expire, so check if the device mtu is
smaller than the reported pmtu and don't crerate a nh exeption in
that case.
