From f016229e303c294afac721de4cd4427e634950ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Timo=20Ter=C3=A4s?= Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 20:46:32 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: rate limit updating of next hop exceptions with same pmtu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The tunnel devices call update_pmtu for each packet sent, this causes contention on the fnhe_lock. Ignore the pmtu update if pmtu is not actually changed, and there is still plenty of time before the entry expires. Signed-off-by: Timo Teräs Signed-off-by: David S.
