753aacfc03
Currently, the driver uses ETH_MAX_MTU as maximum MTU of netdevices,
instead, use the accurate value which is supported by the driver.
Subtract Ethernet headers which are taken into account by hardware for
MTU checking, as described in the previous patch.
Set minimum MTU to ETH_MIN_MTU, as zero MTU is not really supported.
With this change:
a. The stack will do the MTU checking, so we can remove it from the driver.
b. User space will be able to query the actual MTU limits.
Before this patch:
$ ip -j -d link show dev swp1 | jq | grep mtu
"mtu": 1500,
"min_mtu": 0,
"max_mtu": 65535,
With this patch:
$ ip -j -d link show dev swp1 | jq | grep mtu
"mtu": 1500,
"min_mtu": 68,
"max_mtu": 10218,

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 reStructuredText 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.
