ipv6: drop feature RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG
RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG was added before the first git commit: https://www.mail-archive.com/bk-commits-head@vger.kernel.org/msg03399.html The feature would send packets to the fragmentation path if a box receives a PMTU value with less than 1280 byte. However, since commit 9d289715eb5c ("ipv6: stop sending PTB packets for MTU < 1280"), such message would be simply discarded. The feature flag is neither supported in iproute2 utility. In theory one can still manipulate it with direct netlink message, but it is not ideal because it was based on obsoleted guidance of RFC-2460 (replaced by RFC-8200). The feature would always test false at the moment, so remove related code or mark them as unused.

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.
