net-ipv6: on device mtu change do not add mtu to mtu-less routes
Routes can specify an mtu explicitly or inherit the mtu from
the underlying device - this inheritance is implemented in
dst->ops->mtu handlers ip6_mtu() and ip6_blackhole_mtu().
Currently changing the mtu of a device adds mtu explicitly
to routes using that device.
ie.
# ip link set dev lo mtu 65536
# ip -6 route add local 2000::1 dev lo
# ip -6 route get 2000::1
local 2000::1 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 pref medium
# ip link set dev lo mtu 65535
# ip -6 route get 2000::1
local 2000::1 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 mtu 65535 pref medium
# ip link set dev lo mtu 65536
# ip -6 route get 2000::1
local 2000::1 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 mtu 65536 pref medium
# ip -6 route del local 2000::1
After this patch the route entry no longer changes unless it already has an mtu.
There is no need: this inheritance is already done in ip6_mtu()
# ip link set dev lo mtu 65536
# ip -6 route add local 2000::1 dev lo
# ip -6 route add local 2000::2 dev lo mtu 2000
# ip -6 route get 2000::1; ip -6 route get 2000::2
local 2000::1 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 pref medium
local 2000::2 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 mtu 2000 pref medium
# ip link set dev lo mtu 65535
# ip -6 route get 2000::1; ip -6 route get 2000::2
local 2000::1 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 pref medium
local 2000::2 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 mtu 2000 pref medium
# ip link set dev lo mtu 1501
# ip -6 route get 2000::1; ip -6 route get 2000::2
local 2000::1 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 pref medium
local 2000::2 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 mtu 1501 pref medium
# ip link set dev lo mtu 65536
# ip -6 route get 2000::1; ip -6 route get 2000::2
local 2000::1 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 pref medium
local 2000::2 dev lo table local src ... metric 1024 mtu 65536 pref medium
# ip -6 route del local 2000::1
# ip -6 route del local 2000::2
This is desirable because changing device mtu and then resetting it
to the previous value shouldn't change the user visible routing table.
