Currently the PLPMUTD probe will stop for a long period (interval * 30) after it enters search complete state. If there's a pmtu change on the route path, it takes a long time to be aware if the ICMP TooBig packet is lost or filtered. As it says in rfc8899#section-4.3: "A DPLPMTUD method MUST NOT rely solely on this method." (ICMP PTB message). This patch is to enable the other method for search complete state: "A PL can use the DPLPMTUD probing mechanism to periodically generate probe packets of the size of the current PLPMTU." With this patch, the probe will continue with the current pmtu every 'interval' until the PMTU_RAISE_TIMER 'timeout', which we implement by adding raise_count to raise the probe size when it counts to 30 and removing the SCTP_PL_COMPLETE check for PMTU_RAISE_TIMER.

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.
