    ipvlan: inherit MTU from master device · 296d4856
    Mahesh Bandewar authored
    When we create IPvlan slave; we use ether_setup() and that
    sets up default MTU to 1500 while the master device may have
    lower / different MTU. Any subsequent changes to the masters'
    MTU are reflected into the slaves' MTU setting. However if those
    don't happen (most likely scenario), the slaves' MTU stays at
    1500 which could be bad.
    
    This change adds code to inherit MTU from the master device
    instead of using the default value during the link initialization
    phase.
