Alexey Kodanev 4f858c56bd ipv6: udp: set dst cache for a connected sk if current not valid
A new RTF_CACHE route can be created between ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow()
and ip6_dst_store() calls in udpv6_sendmsg(), when datagram sending
results to ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG error:

    udp_v6_send_skb(), for example with vti6 tunnel:
        vti6_xmit(), get ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG error
            skb_dst_update_pmtu(), can create a RTF_CACHE clone
            icmpv6_send()
    ...
    udpv6_err()
        ip6_sk_update_pmtu()
           ip6_update_pmtu(), can create a RTF_CACHE clone
           ...
           ip6_datagram_dst_update()
                ip6_dst_store()

And after commit 33c162a980 ("ipv6: datagram: Update dst cache of
a connected datagram sk during pmtu update"), the UDPv6 error handler
can update socket's dst cache, but it can happen before the update in
the end of udpv6_sendmsg(), preventing getting the new dst cache on
the next udpv6_sendmsg() calls.

In order to fix it, save dst in a connected socket only if the current
socket's dst cache is invalid.

The previous patch prepared ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow() to do that with
the new argument, and this patch enables it in udpv6_sendmsg().

Fixes: 33c162a980 ("ipv6: datagram: Update dst cache of a connected datagram sk during pmtu update")
Fixes: 45e4fd2668 ("ipv6: Only create RTF_CACHE routes after encountering pmtu exception")

README

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.
