Subject: [PATCH net v3] net: vrf: Fix ping failed when vrf mtu is set to 0
Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2019 10:04:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b32ed160-6c7f-fb8e-aa14-11d935a1cb15@huawei.com> (raw)
From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@huawei.com>
When the mtu of a vrf device is set to 0, it would cause ping
failed. So I think we should limit vrf mtu in a reasonable range
to solve this problem. I set dev->min_mtu to IPV6_MIN_MTU, so it
will works for both ipv4 and ipv6. And if dev->max_mtu still be 0
can be confusing, so I set dev->max_mtu to ETH_MAX_MTU.
Here is the reproduce step:
1.Config vrf interface and set mtu to 0:
3: enp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel
master vrf1 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:9e:dd:c1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
2.Ping peer:
3: enp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel
master vrf1 state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:9e:dd:c1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.0.0.1/16 scope global enp4s0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
connect: Network is unreachable
3.Set mtu to default value, ping works:
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.88 ms

V2->V3:
- delete VRF specific mtu macros
- set mtu range directly and add a comment
