    xfrm: fix fragmentation on inter family tunnels · d1d88e5d
    Steffen Klassert authored
    If an ipv4 packet (not locally generated with IP_DF flag not set) bigger
    than mtu size is supposed to go via a xfrm ipv6 tunnel, the packetsize
    check in xfrm4_tunnel_check_size() is omited and ipv6 drops the packet
    without sending a notice to the original sender of the ipv4 packet.
    
    Another issue is that ipv4 connection tracking does reassembling of
    incomming fragmented packets. If such a reassembled packet is supposed to
    go via a xfrm ipv6 tunnel it will be droped, even if the original sender
    did proper fragmentation.
    
    According to RFC 2473 (section 7) tunnel ipv6 packets resulting from the
    encapsulation of an original packet are considered as locally generated
    packets. If such a packet passed the checks in xfrm{4,6}_tunnel_check_size()
    fragmentation is allowed according to RFC 2473 (section 7.1/7.2).
    
    This patch sets skb->local_df in xfrm6_prepare_output() to achieve
    fragmentation in this case.
