Reproduce environment:
network with 3 VM linuxs is connected as below:
VM1<---->VM2(latest kernel 6.5.0-rc7)<---->VM3
VM1: eth0 ip: 192.168.122.207 MTU 1800
VM2: eth0 ip: 192.168.122.208, eth1 ip: 192.168.123.224 MTU 1500
VM3: eth0 ip: 192.168.123.240 MTU 1800
Reproduce:
VM1 send 1600 bytes UDP data to VM3 using tools scapy with flags='DF'.
scapy command:
send(IP(dst="192.168.123.240",flags='DF')/UDP()/str('0'*1600),count=1,
inter=1.000000)
Result:
Before IP data is sent.

ForwDatagrams is always keeping 2 without increment.
Issue description and patch:
ip_exceeds_mtu() in ip_forward() drops this IP datagram because skb len
(1600 sending by scapy) is over MTU(1500 in VM2) if "DF" is set.
According to RFC 4293 "3.2.3. IP Statistics Tables",
+-------+------>------+----->-----+----->-----+
| InForwDatagrams (6) | OutForwDatagrams (6) |
| V +->-+ OutFragReqds
| InNoRoutes | | (packets)
/ (local packet (3) | |
| IF is that of the address | +--> OutFragFails
| and may not be the receiving IF) | | (packets)
the IPSTATS_MIB_OUTFORWDATAGRAMS should be counted before fragment
check.
The existing implementation, instead, would incease the counter after
fragment check: ip_exceeds_mtu() in ipv4 and ip6_pkt_too_big() in ipv6.
So do patch to move IPSTATS_MIB_OUTFORWDATAGRAMS counter to ip_forward()
for ipv4 and ip6_forward() for ipv6.
Test result with patch:
Before IP data is sent.

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.
