[ Upstream commit 91b6dbced0ef1d680afdd69b14fc83d50ebafaf3 ]
When netfilter defrag hooks are loaded (due to the presence of conntrack rules, for example), fragmented packets entering the bridge will be defragged by the bridge's pre-routing hook (br_nf_pre_routing() -> ipv4_conntrack_defrag()).
Later on, in the bridge's post-routing hook, the defragged packet will be fragmented again. If the size of the largest fragment is larger than what the kernel has determined as the destination MTU (using ip_skb_dst_mtu()), the defragged packet will be dropped.
Before commit ac6627a28dbf ("net: ipv4: Consolidate ipv4_mtu and ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward"), ip_skb_dst_mtu() would return dst_mtu() as the destination MTU. Assuming the dst entry attached to the packet is the bridge's fake rtable one, this would simply be the bridge's MTU (see fake_mtu()).
However, after above mentioned commit, ip_skb_dst_mtu() ends up returning the route's MTU stored in the dst entry's metrics. Ideally, in case the dst entry is the bridge's fake rtable one, this should be the bridge's MTU as the bridge takes care of updating this metric when its MTU changes (see br_change_mtu()).
Unfortunately, the last operation is a no-op given the metrics attached to the fake rtable entry are marked as read-only. Therefore, ip_skb_dst_mtu() ends up returning 1500 (the initial MTU value) and defragged packets are dropped during fragmentation when dealing with large fragments and high MTU (e.g., 9k).
Fix by moving the fake rtable entry's metrics to be per-bridge (in a similar fashion to the fake rtable entry itself) and marking them as writable, thereby allowing MTU changes to be reflected.
