commita6d95c5a62upstream. This reverts commitb515d26372. Commitb515d26372("xfrm: xfrm_state_mtu should return at least 1280 for ipv6") in v5.14 breaks the TCP MSS calculation in ipsec transport mode, resulting complete stalls of TCP connections. This happens when the (P)MTU is 1280 or slighly larger. The desired formula for the MSS is: MSS = (MTU - ESP_overhead) - IP header - TCP header However, the above commit clamps the (MTU - ESP_overhead) to a minimum of 1280, turning the formula into MSS = max(MTU - ESP overhead, 1280) - IP header - TCP header With the (P)MTU near 1280, the calculated MSS is too large and the resulting TCP packets never make it to the destination because they are over the actual PMTU. The above commit also causes suboptimal double fragmentation in xfrm tunnel mode, as described in https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210429202529.codhwpc7w6kbudug@dwarf.suse.cz/ The original problem the above commit was trying to fix is now fixed by commit6596a02295("xfrm: fix MTU regression").

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.
