When netdevice MTU is increased via sysfs, NETDEV_CHANGEMTU is raised.
addrconf_notify -> rt6_mtu_change -> rt6_mtu_change_route ->
fib6_nh_mtu_change
As part of handling NETDEV_CHANGEMTU notification we land up on a
condition where if route mtu is less than dev mtu and route mtu equals
ipv6_devconf mtu, route mtu gets updated.
Due to this v6 traffic end up using wrong MTU then configured earlier.
This commit fixes this by removing comparison with ipv6_devconf
and updating route mtu only when it is greater than incoming dev mtu.
This can be easily reproduced with below script:
pre-condition:
device up(mtu = 1500) and route mtu for both v4 and v6 is 1500
test-script:
ip route change 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 src 192.168.0.1 mtu 1400
ip -6 route change 2001::/64 dev eth0 metric 256 mtu 1400
echo 1400 > /sys/class/net/eth0/mtu
ip route change 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 src 192.168.0.1 mtu 1500
echo 1500 > /sys/class/net/eth0/mtu
