Subject[PATCH v2] Documentation: fix outdated interpretation of ip_no_pmtu_disc
Date
From: xu xin <xu.xin16@zte.com.cn>

The updating way of pmtu has changed, but documentation is still in the
old way. So this patch updates the interpretation of ip_no_pmtu_disc and
min_pmtu.

See commit 28d35bcdd3925 ("net: ipv4: don't let PMTU updates increase
route MTU")
