ip6: fix PMTU discovery when using /127 subnets
The definition of an "anycast destination address" has been tweaked as a side-effect of commit 2647a9b07032 ("ipv6: Remove external dependency on rt6i_gateway and RTF_ANYCAST"). The first address of a point-to-point /127 subnet is now considered as an anycast address. This prevents ICMPv6 errors to be returned to a sender of such a subnet and breaks PMTU discovery. This can be reproduced with: ip link add name out6 type veth peer name in6 ip link add name out7 type veth peer name in7 ip link set mtu 1400 dev out7 ip link set mtu 1400 dev in7 ip netns add next-hop ip netns add next-next-hop ip link set netns next-hop dev in6 ip link set netns next-hop dev out7 ip link set netns next-next-hop dev in7 ip link set up dev out6 ip addr add 2001:db8:1::12/127 dev out6 ip netns exec next-hop ip link set up dev in6 ip netns exec next-hop ip link set up dev out7 ip netns exec next-hop ip addr add 2001:db8:1::13/127 dev in6 ip netns exec next-hop ip addr add 2001:db8:1::14/127 dev out7 ip netns exec next-hop ip route add default via 2001:db8:1::15 ip netns exec next-hop sysctl -qw net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 ip netns exec next-next-hop ip link set up dev in7 ip netns exec next-next-hop ip addr add 2001:db8:1::15/127 dev in7 ip netns exec next-next-hop ip addr add 2001:db8:1::50/128 dev in7 ip netns exec next-next-hop ip route add default via 2001:db8:1::14 ip netns exec next-next-hop sysctl -qw net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 ip route add 2001:db8:1::48/123 via 2001:db8:1::13 sleep 4 ping -M do -s 1452 -c 3 2001:db8:1::50 || true ip route get 2001:db8:1::50 Before the patch, we get: 2001:db8:1::50 from :: via 2001:db8:1::13 dev out6 src 2001:db8:1::12 metric 1024 pref medium After the patch, we get: 2001:db8:1::50 via 2001:db8:1::13 dev out6 src 2001:db8:1::12 metric 0 cache expires 578sec mtu 1400 pref medium Fixes: 2647a9b07032 ("ipv6: Remove external dependency on rt6i_gateway and RTF_ANYCAST") Signed-off-by: Vincent Bernat <vincent@bernat.im> Signed-off-by: David S.
