tunnels: Fix off-by-one in lower MTU bounds for ICMP/ICMPv6 replies
Jianlin reports that a bridged IPv6 VXLAN endpoint, carrying IPv6
packets over a link with a PMTU estimation of exactly 1350 bytes,
won't trigger ICMPv6 Packet Too Big replies when the encapsulated
datagrams exceed said PMTU value. VXLAN over IPv6 adds 70 bytes of
overhead, so an ICMPv6 reply indicating 1280 bytes as inner MTU
would be legitimate and expected.
This comes from an off-by-one error I introduced in checks added
as part of commit 4cb47a8644cc ("tunnels: PMTU discovery support
for directly bridged IP packets"), whose purpose was to prevent
sending ICMPv6 Packet Too Big messages with an MTU lower than the
smallest permissible IPv6 link MTU, i.e. 1280 bytes.
In iptunnel_pmtud_check_icmpv6(), avoid triggering a reply only if
the advertised MTU would be less than, and not equal to, 1280 bytes.
Also fix the analogous comparison for IPv4, that is, skip the ICMP
reply only if the resulting MTU is strictly less than 576 bytes.
This becomes apparent while running the net/pmtu.sh bridged VXLAN
or GENEVE selftests with adjusted lower-link MTU values. Using
e.g. GENEVE, setting ll_mtu to the values reported below, in the
test_pmtu_ipvX_over_bridged_vxlanY_or_geneveY_exception() test
function, we can see failures on the following tests:
test | ll_mtu
-------------------------------|--------
pmtu_ipv4_br_geneve4_exception | 626
pmtu_ipv6_br_geneve4_exception | 1330
pmtu_ipv6_br_geneve6_exception | 1350
owing to the different tunneling overheads implied by the
corresponding configurations.
