[PATCH v2 net-next] virtio-net: Update the mtu code to match virtio spec
From: Aaron Conole <aconole@redhat.com>
Date: 2016-10-25 20:12:16
The virtio committee recently ratified a change, VIRTIO-152, which defines the mtu field to be 'max' MTU, not simply desired MTU. This commit brings the virtio-net device in compliance with VIRTIO-152. Additionally, drop the max_mtu branch - it cannot be taken since the u16 returned by virtio_cread16 will never exceed the initial value of max_mtu.
