4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 24fc79798b8ddfd46f2dd363a8d29072c083b977 ] Otherwise, it's possible to specify invalid MTU values directly on creation of a link (via 'ip link add'). This is already prevented on subsequent MTU changes by commit b96f9afee4eb ("ipv4/6: use core net MTU range checking"). Fixes: c54419321455 ("GRE: Refactor GRE tunneling code.")
