Jiri Bohac 6596a02295 xfrm: fix MTU regression
Commit 749439bfac ("ipv6: fix udpv6
sendmsg crash caused by too small MTU") breaks PMTU for xfrm.

A Packet Too Big ICMPv6 message received in response to an ESP
packet will prevent all further communication through the tunnel
if the reported MTU minus the ESP overhead is smaller than 1280.

E.g. in a case of a tunnel-mode ESP with sha256/aes the overhead
is 92 bytes. Receiving a PTB with MTU of 1371 or less will result
in all further packets in the tunnel dropped. A ping through the
tunnel fails with "ping: sendmsg: Invalid argument".

Apparently the MTU on the xfrm route is smaller than 1280 and
fails the check inside ip6_setup_cork() added by 749439bf.

We found this by debugging USGv6/ipv6ready failures. Failing
tests are: "Phase-2 Interoperability Test Scenario IPsec" /
5.3.11 and 5.4.11 (Tunnel Mode: Fragmentation).

Commit b515d26372 ("xfrm:
xfrm_state_mtu should return at least 1280 for ipv6") attempted
to fix this but caused another regression in TCP MSS calculations
and had to be reverted.

The patch below fixes the situation by dropping the MTU
check and instead checking for the underflows described in the
749439bf commit message.

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.
