[ Upstream commitb210de4f8c] There are cases where GSO segment's length exceeds the egress MTU: - Forwarding of a TCP GRO skb, when DF flag is not set. - Forwarding of an skb that arrived on a virtualisation interface (virtio-net/vhost/tap) with TSO/GSO size set by other network stack. - Local GSO skb transmitted on an NETIF_F_TSO tunnel stacked over an interface with a smaller MTU. - Arriving GRO skb (or GSO skb in a virtualised environment) that is bridged to a NETIF_F_TSO tunnel stacked over an interface with an insufficient MTU. If so: - Consume the SKB and its segments. - Issue an ICMP packet with 'Packet Too Big' message containing the MTU, allowing the source host to reduce its Path MTU appropriately. Note: These cases are handled in the same manner in IPv4 output finish. This patch aligns the behavior of IPv6 and the one of IPv4.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
