[OpenWrt-Devel] 18.06 Bug: Baby Jumbo Frames on mt7621

[Jaap Buurman]

Dear all,

I found some additional information in the system log: Thu May 24
11:38:39 2018 kern.err kernel: [83864.729458] eth0: Invalid MTU 1508
requested, hw max 1500
Digging deeper, this seems like a message that is spawned by a
function in /net/core.dev.c of the linux kernel:

if (dev->max_mtu > 0 && new_mtu > dev->max_mtu) {
net_err_ratelimited("%s: Invalid MTU %d requested, hw max %d\n",
dev->name, new_mtu, dev->max_mtu);
return -EINVAL;
}

Is there anybody that happens to know where exactly this max_mtu value
is set to 1500? For mt7621 devices this should be 2048 (Baby jambo
frames).

Thank you very much in advance.

Yours sincerely,

Jaap Buurman
