    vlan: use a valid default mtu value for vlan over macsec · 18d3df3e
    Paolo Abeni authored
    macsec can't cope with mtu frames which need vlan tag insertion, and
    vlan device set the default mtu equal to the underlying dev's one.
    By default vlan over macsec devices use invalid mtu, dropping
    all the large packets.
    This patch adds a netif helper to check if an upper vlan device
    needs mtu reduction. The helper is used during vlan devices
    initialization to set a valid default and during mtu updating to
    forbid invalid, too bit, mtu values.
    The helper currently only check if the lower dev is a macsec device,
    if we get more users, we need to update only the helper (possibly
    reserving an additional IFF bit).
