Since commit5aad1de5ea("ipv4: use separate genid for next hop exceptions"), exceptions get deprecated separately from cached routes. In particular, administrative changes don't clear PMTU anymore. As Stefano described in commite9fa1495d7("ipv6: Reflect MTU changes on PMTU of exceptions for MTU-less routes"), the PMTU discovered before the local MTU change can become stale: - if the local MTU is now lower than the PMTU, that PMTU is now incorrect - if the local MTU was the lowest value in the path, and is increased, we might discover a higher PMTU Similarly to what commite9fa1495d7did for IPv6, update PMTU in those cases. If the exception was locked, the discovered PMTU was smaller than the minimal accepted PMTU. In that case, if the new local MTU is smaller than the current PMTU, let PMTU discovery figure out if locking of the exception is still needed. To do this, we need to know the old link MTU in the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU notifier. By the time the notifier is called, dev->mtu has been changed. This patch adds the old MTU as additional information in the notifier structure, and a new call_netdevice_notifiers_u32() function.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
