[ Upstream commit 128bb975dc3c25d00de04e503e2fe0a780d04459 ]
Commit b05229f44228 ("gre6: Cleanup GREv6 transmit path,
call common GRE functions") moved dev->mtu initialization
from ip6gre_tunnel_setup() to ip6gre_tunnel_init(), as a
result, the previously set values, before ndo_init(), are
reset in the following cases:
* rtnl_create_link() can update dev->mtu from IFLA_MTU
parameter.
* ip6gre_tnl_link_config() is invoked before ndo_init() in
netlink and ioctl setup, so ndo_init() can reset MTU
adjustments with the lower device MTU as well, dev->mtu
and dev->hard_header_len.
Not applicable for ip6gretap because it has one more call
to ip6gre_tnl_link_config(tunnel, 1) in ip6gre_tap_init().
Fix the first case by updating dev->mtu with 'tb[IFLA_MTU]'
parameter if a user sets it manually on a device creation,
and fix the second one by moving ip6gre_tnl_link_config()
call after register_netdevice().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
