ipv4: better IP_MAX_MTU enforcement
While working on yet another syzkaller report, I found that our IP_MAX_MTU enforcements were not properly done. gcc seems to reload dev->mtu for min(dev->mtu, IP_MAX_MTU), and final result can be bigger than IP_MAX_MTU :/ This is a problem because device mtu can be changed on other cpus or threads. While this patch does not fix the issue I am working on, it is probably worth addressing it. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
