Message-Id: <20180830211543.27111-1-dsahern@kernel.org> Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:15:43 -0700 From: dsahern@...nel.org To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: medhefgo@....de, David Ahern <dsahern@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH net] net/ipv6: Only update MTU metric if it set From: David Ahern <dsahern@...il.com> Jan reported a regression after an update to 4.18.5. In this case ipv6 default route is setup by systemd-networkd based on data from an RA. The RA contains an MTU of 1492 which is used when the route is first inserted but then systemd-networkd pushes down updates to the default route without the mtu set. Prior to the change to fib6_info, metrics such as MTU were held in the dst_entry and rt6i_pmtu in rt6_info contained an update to the mtu if any. ip6_mtu would look at rt6i_pmtu first and use it if set. If not, the value from the metrics is used if it is set and finally falling back to the idev value. After the fib6_info change metrics are contained in the fib6_info struct and there is no equivalent to rt6i_pmtu. To maintain consistency with the old behavior the new code should only reset the MTU in the metrics if the route update has it set.
