sctp: do state transition when receiving an icmp TOOBIG packet
PLPMTUD will short-circuit the old process for icmp TOOBIG packets. This part is described in rfc8899#section-4.6.2 (PL_PTB_SIZE = PTB_SIZE - other_headers_len). Note that from rfc8899#section-5.2 State Machine, each case below is for some specific states only: a) PL_PTB_SIZE < MIN_PLPMTU || PL_PTB_SIZE >= PROBED_SIZE, discard it, for any state b) MIN_PLPMTU < PL_PTB_SIZE < BASE_PLPMTU, Base -> Error, for Base state c) BASE_PLPMTU <= PL_PTB_SIZE < PLPMTU, Search -> Base or Complete -> Base, for Search and Complete states. d) PLPMTU < PL_PTB_SIZE < PROBED_SIZE, set pl.probe_size to PL_PTB_SIZE then verify it, for Search state. The most important one is case d), which will help find the optimal fast during searching. Like when pathmtu = 1392 for SCTP over IPv4, the search will be (20 is iphdr_len): 1. probe with 1200 - 20 2. probe with 1232 - 20 3. probe with 1264 - 20 ... 7. probe with 1388 - 20 8. probe with 1420 - 20 When sending the probe with 1420 - 20, TOOBIG may come with PL_PTB_SIZE = 1392 - 20. Then it matches case d), and saves some rounds to try with the 1392 - 20 probe. But of course, PLPMTUD doesn't trust TOOBIG packets, and it will go back to the common searching once the probe with the new size can't be verified.
