Commitb05229f442("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.
