The driver uses the MAX_PKT_SIZE (1518) for both MTU reporting and for TX. However, the 2 places do not measure the same thing. On TX, skb->len measures the entire L2 packet length (without FCS, which software does not possess). So the comparison against 1518 there is correct. What is not correct is the reporting of dev->max_mtu as 1518. Since MTU measures L2 *payload* length (excluding L2 overhead) and not total L2 packet length, it means that the correct max_mtu supported by this device is the standard 1500. Anything higher than that will be dropped on RX currently. To fix this, subtract VLAN_ETH_HLEN from MAX_PKT_SIZE when reporting the max_mtu, since that is the difference between L2 payload length and total L2 length as seen by software.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
