mlxsw: Handle changes to MTU in GRE tunnels
Petr says:
When offloading GRE tunnels, the MTU setting is kept fixed after the
initial offload even as the slow-path configuration changed. Worse: the
offloaded MTU setting is actually just a transient value set at the time
of NETDEV_REGISTER of the tunnel. As of commit ffc2b6ee41 ("ip_gre:
fix IFLA_MTU ignored on NEWLINK"), that transient value is zero, and
unless there's e.g. a VRF migration that prompts re-offload, it stays at
zero, and all GRE packets end up trapping.
Thus, in patch #1, change the way the MTU is changed post-registration,
so that the full event protocol is observed. That way the drivers get to
see the change and have a chance to react.
In the remaining two patches, implement support for MTU change in mlxsw
driver.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
