ipv4: IP defragmentation must be ECN aware
RFC3168 (The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification to IP) states : 5.3. Fragmentation ECN-capable packets MAY have the DF (Don't Fragment) bit set. Reassembly of a fragmented packet MUST NOT lose indications of congestion. In other words, if any fragment of an IP packet to be reassembled has the CE codepoint set, then one of two actions MUST be taken: * Set the CE codepoint on the reassembled packet. However, this MUST NOT occur if any of the other fragments contributing to this reassembly carries the Not-ECT codepoint. * The packet is dropped, instead of being reassembled, for any other reason. This patch implements this requirement for IPv4, choosing the first action : If one fragment had NO-ECT codepoint reassembled frame has NO-ECT ElIf one fragment had CE codepoint reassembled frame has CE Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
