[PATCH 4.16 112/279] vti6: Change minimum MTU to IPV4_MIN_MTU, vti6 can carry IPv4 too

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

 



4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b4331a681822b420511b3258f1c3db35001fde48 ]

A vti6 interface can carry IPv4 as well, so it makes no sense to
enforce a minimum MTU of IPV6_MIN_MTU.

If the user sets an MTU below IPV6_MIN_MTU, IPv6 will be
disabled on the interface, courtesy of addrconf_notify().

Fixes: b96f9afee4eb ("ipv4/6: use core net MTU range checking")
Fixes: c6741fbed6dc ("vti6: Properly adjust vti6 MTU from MTU of lower device")
Fixes: 53c81e95df17 ("ip6_vti: adjust vti mtu according to mtu of lower device")
