[PATCH 4.19 129/422] IB/ipoib: Ensure that MTU isnt less than minimum permitted

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

 



From: Muhammad Sammar <muhammads@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 142a9c287613560edf5a03c8d142c8b6ebc1995b ]

It is illegal to change MTU to a value lower than the minimum MTU
stated in ethernet spec. In addition to that we need to add 4 bytes
for encapsulation header (IPOIB_ENCAP_LEN).

Before "ifconfig ib0 mtu 0" command, succeeds while it obviously shouldn't.
