[PATCH 4.9 18/66] ipvlan: fix IFLA_MTU ignored on NEWLINK

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Jul 20 2018 - 08:28:51 EST


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

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

From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 30877961b1cdd6fdca783c2e8c4f0f47e95dc58c ]

Commit 296d48568042 ("ipvlan: inherit MTU from master device") adjusted
the mtu from the master device when creating a ipvlan device, but it
would also override the mtu value set in rtnl_create_link. It causes
IFLA_MTU param not to take effect.

So this patch is to not adjust the mtu if IFLA_MTU param is set when
creating a ipvlan device.
