After commit f6cc9c05, the following conf is broken (note that the default loopback mtu is 65536, ie IP_MAX_MTU + 1): $ ip tunnel add gre1 mode gre local 10.125.0.1 remote 10.125.0.2 dev lo add tunnel "gre0" failed: Invalid argument $ ip l a type dummy $ ip l s dummy1 up $ ip l s dummy1 mtu 65535 $ ip tunnel add gre1 mode gre local 10.125.0.1 remote 10.125.0.2 dev dummy1 add tunnel "gre0" failed: Invalid argument dev_set_mtu() doesn't allow to set a mtu which is too large. First, let's cap the mtu returned by ip_tunnel_bind_dev(). Second, remove the magic value 0xFFF8 and use IP_MAX_MTU instead. 0xFFF8 seems to be there for ages, I don't know why this value was used. With a recent kernel, it's also possible to set a mtu > IP_MAX_MTU: $ ip l s dummy1 mtu 66000 After that patch, it's also possible to bind an ip tunnel on that kind of interface.
