This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled team: use ETH_MAX_MTU as max mtu to the 4.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: team-use-eth_max_mtu-as-max-mtu.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Sat Mar 18 22:03:53 CST 2017 From: Jarod Wilson <jarod@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 08:48:58 -0500 Subject: team: use ETH_MAX_MTU as max mtu From: Jarod Wilson <jarod@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3331aa378e9bcbd0d16de9034b0c20f4050e26b4 ] This restores the ability to set a team device's mtu to anything higher than 1500. Similar to the reported issue with bonding, the team driver calls ether_setup(), which sets an initial max_mtu of 1500, while the underlying hardware can handle something much larger. Just set it to ETH_MAX_MTU to support all possible values, and the limitations of the underlying devices will prevent setting anything too large.
