Subject: [PATCH net v2] ipv6: Reflect MTU changes on PMTU of exceptions for MTU-less routes
Currently, administrative MTU changes on a given netdevice are
not reflected on route exceptions for MTU-less routes, with a
set PMTU value, for that device:
# ip -6 route get 2001:db8::b
2001:db8::b from :: dev vti_a proto kernel src 2001:db8::a metric 256 pref medium
# ping6 -c 1 -q -s10000 2001:db8::b > /dev/null
# ip netns exec a ip -6 route get 2001:db8::b
2001:db8::b from :: dev vti_a src 2001:db8::a metric 0
cache expires 571sec mtu 4926 pref medium
# ip link set dev vti_a mtu 3000
# ip -6 route get 2001:db8::b
2001:db8::b from :: dev vti_a src 2001:db8::a metric 0
cache expires 571sec mtu 4926 pref medium
# ip link set dev vti_a mtu 9000
# ip -6 route get 2001:db8::b
2001:db8::b from :: dev vti_a src 2001:db8::a metric 0
cache expires 571sec mtu 4926 pref medium
The first issue is that since commit fb56be83e43d ("net-ipv6: on
device mtu change do not add mtu to mtu-less routes") we don't
call rt6_exceptions_update_pmtu() from rt6_mtu_change_route(),
which handles administrative MTU changes, if the regular route
is MTU-less.
However, PMTU exceptions should be always updated, as long as
RTAX_MTU is not locked. Keep the check for MTU-less main route,
as introduced by that commit, but, for exceptions,
call rt6_exceptions_update_pmtu() regardless of that check.
Once that is fixed, one problem remains: MTU changes are not
reflected if the new MTU is higher than the previous one,
because rt6_exceptions_update_pmtu() doesn't allow that. We
should instead allow PMTU increase if the old PMTU matches the
local MTU, as that implies that the old MTU was the lowest in the
path, and PMTU discovery might lead to different results.
The existing check in rt6_mtu_change_route() correctly took that
case into account (for regular routes only), so factor it out
and re-use it also in rt6_exceptions_update_pmtu().
While at it, fix comments style and grammar, and try to be a bit
more descriptive.

v2: Use 2001:db8::/32 addresses in commit message as assigned by
RFC 3849 for documentation purposes [David Ahern], rephrase
paragraph about check on MTU-less route
This patch introduces some visual code churn as I'm factoring out
the existing MTU checks from rt6_exceptions_update_pmtu() and
updating comments style and syntax. Real code changes are rather
small.
Let me know if I should rather submit an "ugly" fix for net, and
a separate, small refactoring for net-next.
