Currently, processes sending traffic to a local bridge with an
encapsulation device as a port don't get ICMP errors if they exceed
the PMTU of the encapsulated link.
David Ahern suggested this as a hack, but it actually looks like
the correct solution: when we update the PMTU for a given destination
by means of updating or creating a route exception, the encapsulation
might trigger this because of PMTU discovery happening either on the
encapsulation device itself, or its lower layer. This happens on
bridged encapsulations only.
The output interface shouldn't matter, because we already have a
valid destination. Drop the output interface restriction from the
associated route lookup.
For UDP tunnels, we will now have a route exception created for the
encapsulation itself, with a MTU value reflecting its headroom, which
allows a bridge forwarding IP packets originated locally to deliver
errors back to the sending socket.
The behaviour is now consistent with IPv6 and verified with selftests
pmtu_ipv{4,6}_br_{geneve,vxlan}{4,6}_exception introduced later in
this series.
v2:
- reset output interface only for bridge ports (David Ahern)
- add and use netif_is_any_bridge_port() helper (David Ahern)

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.
