When mss is bigger than IPV6_MAXPLEN - sizeof(struct tcphdr),
set mss to IPV6_MAXPLEN - sizeof(struct tcphdr), not IPV6_MAXPLEN.

Hmm... What about the comment above the code mentioning pmtu discovery ?

        /*
         * Maximal non-jumbo IPv6 payload is IPV6_MAXPLEN and
         * corresponding MSS is IPV6_MAXPLEN - tcp_header_size.
         * IPV6_MAXPLEN is also valid and means: "any MSS,
         * rely only on pmtu discovery"
         */


Check out code from net/ipv6/ip6_output.c, ip6_append_data() :

        if (mtu <= sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) + IPV6_MAXPLEN) {
                if (cork->length + length > sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) + IPV6_MAXPLEN - fragheaderlen) {
                        ipv6_local_error(sk, EMSGSIZE, fl6, mtu-exthdrlen);
                        return -EMSGSIZE;
                }
        }

and __ip6_local_out()

	if (len > IPV6_MAXPLEN)
		len = 0;
