    ipv4: add IP_RECVFRAGSIZE cmsg · 70ecc248

    The IP stack records the largest fragment of a reassembled packet
    in IPCB(skb)->frag_max_size. When reading a datagram or raw packet
    that arrived fragmented, expose the value to allow applications to
    estimate receive path MTU.
    
    Tested:
      Sent data over a veth pair of which the source has a small mtu.
      Sent data using netcat, received using a dedicated process.
    
      Verified that the cmsg IP_RECVFRAGSIZE is returned only when
      data arrives fragmented, and in that cases matches the veth mtu.
    
        ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
    
        ip netns add from
        ip netns add to
    
        ip link set dev veth1 netns to
        ip netns exec to ip addr add dev veth1 192.168.10.1/24
