Hi,

This patchset performs some small fix and enhancement
for current TCP PMTU as per RFC4821 with below changes:

Patch1/4: Set probe mss base to 1024 Bytes per RFC4821
Patch2/4: Do not double probe_size for each probing,
          use a simple binary search to gain maximum performance.
Patch3/4: When it comes to blackhole detection, shrink current
	  mss for next probing.
Patch4/4: Create a probe timer to detect enlarged path MTU.

Changelog:
v2:
   - Introduce sysctl_tcp_probe_threshold to control when
     probing will stop, as suggested by John Heffner.
   - Add patch3 to shrink current mss value for search low boundary.
   - Drop cannonical timer usages, implements pseudo timer based on
     32bits jiffies tcp_time_stamp, as suggested by Eric Dumazet.

Fan Du (4):
  ipv4: Raise tcp PMTU probe mss base size
  ipv4: Use binary search to choose tcp PMTU probe_size
  ipv4: shrink current mss for tcp PMTU blackhole detection
  ipv4: Create probe timer for tcp PMTU as per RFC4821
