Hmm. esp4_err() looks like this :

    struct iphdr *iph = (struct iphdr*)skb->data;
    struct ip_esp_hdr *esph = (struct ip_esp_hdr*)(skb->data+(iph->ihl<<2));
    struct xfrm_state *x;

    if (icmp_hdr(skb)->type != ICMP_DEST_UNREACH ||
        icmp_hdr(skb)->code != ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED)
        return;

    x = xfrm_state_lookup((xfrm_address_t *)&iph->daddr, esph->spi, 
IPPROTO_ESP, AF_INET);
    if (!x)
        return;
    NETDEBUG(KERN_DEBUG "pmtu discovery on SA ESP/%08x/%08x\n",
         ntohl(esph->spi), ntohl(iph->daddr));
    xfrm_state_put(x);



where could pmtu discovery be happening?
