The state transition is described in rfc8899#section-5.2,
PROBE_COUNT == MAX_PROBES means the probe fails for MAX times, and the
state transition includes:
- Base -> Error, occurs when BASE_PLPMTU Confirmation Fails,
pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_MIN_PLPMTU,
probe_size is still SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;
- Search -> Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected,
pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU,
probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;
- Search Complete -> Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected
pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU,
probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;
Note a black hole is encountered when a sender is unaware that packets
are not being delivered to the destination endpoint. So it includes the
probe failures with equal probe_size to pl.pmtu, and definitely not
include that with greater probe_size than pl.pmtu. The later one is the
normal probe failure where probe_size should decrease back to pl.pmtu
and pl.probe_high is set. pl.probe_high would be used on HB ACK recv
path in the next patch.

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.
