Guillaume Nault says: ==================== l2tp: sanitise MTU handling on sessions Most of the code handling sessions' MTU has no effect. The ->mtu field in struct l2tp_session might be used at session creation time, but neither PPP nor Ethernet pseudo-wires take updates into account. L2TP sessions don't have a concept of MTU, which is the reason why ->mtu is mostly ignored. MTU should remain a network device thing. Therefore this patch set does not try to propagate/update ->mtu to/from the device. That would complicate the code unnecessarily. Instead this field and the associated ioctl commands and netlink attributes are removed. Patch #1 defines l2tp_tunnel_dst_mtu() in order to simplify the following patches. Then patches #2 and #3 remove MTU handling from PPP and Ethernet pseudo-wires respectively. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
