In vti6_link_config(), if MTU is already given on link creation or change, validate and use it instead of recomputing it. To do that, we need to propagate the knowledge that MTU was set by userspace all the way down to vti6_link_config(). To keep this simple, vti6_dev_init() sets the new 'keep_mtu' argument of vti6_link_config() to true: on initialization, we don't have convenient access to netlink attributes there, but we will anyway check whether dev->mtu is set in vti6_link_config(). If it's non-zero, it was set to the value of the IFLA_MTU attribute during creation. Otherwise, determine a reasonable value.

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.
