If we have a cross-chip topology like this:
sw0p0 sw0p1 sw0p2 sw0p3 sw0p4
[ cpu ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ user ]
|
+---------+
|
sw1p0 sw1p1 sw1p2 sw1p3 sw1p4
[ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ dsa ]
and we issue the following commands:
1. ip link set sw0p1 mtu 1700
2. ip link set sw1p1 mtu 1600
we notice the following happening:
Command 1. emits a non-targeted MTU notifier for the CPU port (sw0p0)
with the largest_mtu calculated across switch 0, of 1700. This matches
sw0p0, sw0p3 and sw1p4 (all CPU ports and DSA links).
Then, it emits a targeted MTU notifier for the user port (sw0p1), again
with MTU 1700 (this doesn't matter).
Command 2. emits a non-targeted MTU notifier for the CPU port (sw0p0)
with the largest_mtu calculated across switch 1, of 1600. This matches
the same group of ports as above, and decreases the MTU for the CPU port
and the DSA links from 1700 to 1600.
As a result, the sw0p1 user port can no longer communicate with its CPU
port at MTU 1700.
To address this, we should calculate the largest_mtu across all switches
that may share a CPU port, and only emit MTU notifiers with that value.

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.
