geneve: configure MTU based on a lower device
Currently, on a new link creation or when 'remote' address parameter is updated, an MTU is not changed and always equals 1500. When a lower device has a larger MTU, it might not be efficient, e.g. for UDP, and requires the manual MTU adjustments to match the MTU of the lower device. This patch tries to automate this process, finds a lower device using the 'remote' address parameter, then uses its MTU to tune GENEVE's MTU: * on a new link creation * when 'remote' parameter is changed Also with this patch, the MTU from a user, on a new link creation, is passed to geneve_change_mtu() where it is verified, and MTU adjustments with a lower device is skipped in that case. Prior that change, it was possible to set the invalid MTU values on a new link creation. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kodanev <alexey.kodanev@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
