From e94cd8113ce63bca34040aae52d0603baf6ec07c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Shengju Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2017 23:57:49 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: remove MTU limits for dummy and ifb device These two drivers (dummy and ifb) call ether_setup(), after commit 61e84623ace3 ("net: centralize net_device min/max MTU checking"), the range of mtu is [min_mtu, max_mtu], which is [68, 1500] by default. These two devices should not have limits on MTU. This patch set their min_mtu/max_mtu to 0. So that dev_set_mtu() will not check the mtu range, and can be set with any value.
