From 296d48568042360d0e2a6e6e91b0130acb5ca738 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mahesh Bandewar Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 23:33:28 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipvlan: inherit MTU from master device When we create IPvlan slave; we use ether_setup() and that sets up default MTU to 1500 while the master device may have lower / different MTU. Any subsequent changes to the masters' MTU are reflected into the slaves' MTU setting. However if those don't happen (most likely scenario), the slaves' MTU stays at 1500 which could be bad. This change adds code to inherit MTU from the master device instead of using the default value during the link initialization phase.
