[RFC PATCH v1 net-next 1/1] net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: allow MTU > 1500 when overridden by module parameter

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The module parameter rx_packet_max can be overridden at module load or
boot args. But it doesn't adjust the max_mtu for the device accordingly.

If a CPSW device is to be used in a DSA architecture, increasing the
MTU by small amounts to account for switch overhead becomes necessary.
This way, a boot arg of cpsw.rx_packet_max=1600 should allow the MTU
to be increased to values of 1520, which is necessary for DSA tagging
protocols like "ocelot" and "seville".
