Subject: [PATCH v2 -next] virtio-net: Add initial MTU advice feature
Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2016 17:10:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464901859-25906-1-git-send-email-aconole@redhat.com> (raw)
This commit adds the feature bit and associated mtu device entry for the
virtio network device. When a virtio device comes up, it checks the
feature bit for the VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU feature. If such feature bit is
enabled, the driver will read the advised MTU and use it as the initial
value.
