ipv6: yet another new IPV6_MTU_DISCOVER option IPV6_PMTUDISC_OMIT
This option has the same semantic as IP_PMTUDISC_OMIT for IPv4 which got recently introduced. It doesn't honor the path mtu discovered by the host but in contrary to IPV6_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE allows the generation of fragments if the packet size exceeds the MTU of the outgoing interface MTU. Fixes: 93b36cf3425b9b ("ipv6: support IPV6_PMTU_INTERFACE on sockets") Cc: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
