ipv4: route: Ignore output interface in FIB lookup for PMTU route
Currently, processes sending traffic to a local bridge with an encapsulation device as a port don't get ICMP errors if they exceed the PMTU of the encapsulated link. David Ahern suggested this as a hack, but it actually looks like the correct solution: when we update the PMTU for a given destination by means of updating or creating a route exception, the encapsulation might trigger this because of PMTU discovery happening either on the encapsulation device itself, or its lower layer. This happens on bridged encapsulations only. The output interface shouldn't matter, because we already have a valid destination. Drop the output interface restriction from the associated route lookup. For UDP tunnels, we will now have a route exception created for the encapsulation itself, with a MTU value reflecting its headroom, which allows a bridge forwarding IP packets originated locally to deliver errors back to the sending socket. The behaviour is now consistent with IPv6 and verified with selftests pmtu_ipv{4,6}_br_{geneve,vxlan}{4,6}_exception introduced later in this series. v2: - reset output interface only for bridge ports (David Ahern) - add and use netif_is_any_bridge_port() helper (David Ahern) Suggested-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
