David S. Miller 65d63e82b1 Merge branch 'net-dsa-marvell-mtu-reporting'
Vladimir Oltean says:

====================
Fix MTU reporting for Marvell DSA switches where we can't change it

As explained in patch 2, the driver doesn't know how to change the MTU
on MV88E6165, MV88E6191, MV88E6220, MV88E6250 and MV88E6290, and there
is a regression where it actually reports an MTU value below the
Ethernet standard (1500).

Fixing that shows another issue where DSA is unprepared to be told that
a switch supports an MTU of only 1500, and still errors out. That is
addressed by patch 1.

Testing was not done on "real" hardware, but on a different Marvell DSA
switch, with code modified such that the driver doesn't know how to
change the MTU on that, either.

A key assumption is that these switches don't need any MTU configuration
to pass full MTU-sized, DSA-tagged packets, which seems like a
reasonable assumption to make. My 6390 and 6190 switches, with
.port_set_jumbo_size commented out, certainly don't seem to have any
problem passing MTU-sized traffic, as can be seen in this iperf3 session
captured with tcpdump on the DSA master:

$MAC > $MAC, Marvell DSA mode Forward, dev 2, port 8, untagged, VID 1000,
	FPri 0, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 1518:
	10.0.0.69.49590 > 10.0.0.1.5201: Flags [.], seq 81088:82536,
	ack 1, win 502, options [nop,nop,TS val 2221498829 ecr 3012859850],
	length 1448

I don't want to go all the way and say that the adjustment made by
commit b9c587fed6 ("dsa: mv88e6xxx: Include tagger overhead when
setting MTU for DSA and CPU ports") is completely unnecessary, just that
there's an equally good chance that the switches with unknown MTU
configuration procedure "just work".

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.

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.
