Interface is up and transmitting/receiving pkts at the time.
I just reproduced it with commands below. It is probably a race,
so not sure that either of these will always fail. Running about
10kpps rx+tx. Was sending pktgen (UDP) traffic of fixed length, so the actual
transmitted packet sizes remains the same in this case.
# MTU is at 1500
ifconfig eth5 mtu 4096 #worked
ifconfig eth5 mtu 4000 # failed.
