Subject: A problem about ICMP packet-too-big message handler

Hi,

My kernel is 3.10 LTS.

I got a problem here about handling ICMP packet-too-big message.

Before sending a packet-too-big packet :

# ip -6 route list table local
local ::1 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::1 dev lo  metric 0 	//It  does not have expire value
local fe80::200:ff:fe00:0 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::200:ff:fe00:0 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::200:ff:fe00:0 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::200:ff:fe00:0 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::200:ff:fe00:2 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::5054:ff:fe12:3456 dev lo  metric 0


After sending a packet-too-big packet

ip -6 route list table local
local ::1 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80:: dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::1 dev lo  metric 0  expires _597_  //It has expire value
local fe80::200:ff:fe00:0 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::200:ff:fe00:0 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::200:ff:fe00:0 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::200:ff:fe00:0 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::200:ff:fe00:2 dev lo  metric 0 
local fe80::5054:ff:fe12:3456 dev lo  metric 0

When time is up, I can't ping fe80::1 .
Is it ok or a bug ?

Regards,
Yang
