PLPMTUD will short-circuit the old process for icmp TOOBIG packets.
This part is described in rfc8899#section-4.6.2 (PL_PTB_SIZE =
PTB_SIZE - other_headers_len). Note that from rfc8899#section-5.2
State Machine, each case below is for some specific states only:
a) PL_PTB_SIZE < MIN_PLPMTU || PL_PTB_SIZE >= PROBED_SIZE,
discard it, for any state
b) MIN_PLPMTU < PL_PTB_SIZE < BASE_PLPMTU,
Base -> Error, for Base state
c) BASE_PLPMTU <= PL_PTB_SIZE < PLPMTU,
Search -> Base or Complete -> Base, for Search and Complete states.
d) PLPMTU < PL_PTB_SIZE < PROBED_SIZE,
set pl.probe_size to PL_PTB_SIZE then verify it, for Search state.
The most important one is case d), which will help find the optimal
fast during searching. Like when pathmtu = 1392 for SCTP over IPv4,
the search will be (20 is iphdr_len):
1. probe with 1200 - 20
2. probe with 1232 - 20
3. probe with 1264 - 20
...
7. probe with 1388 - 20
8. probe with 1420 - 20
When sending the probe with 1420 - 20, TOOBIG may come with PL_PTB_SIZE =
1392 - 20. Then it matches case d), and saves some rounds to try with the
1392 - 20 probe. But of course, PLPMTUD doesn't trust TOOBIG packets, and
it will go back to the common searching once the probe with the new size
can't be verified.

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.
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.
