Subject: [PATCH 4.14 070/239] IB/ipoib: Ensure that MTU isnt less than minimum permitted

From: Muhammad Sammar <muhammads@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit 142a9c287613560edf5a03c8d142c8b6ebc1995b ]

It is illegal to change MTU to a value lower than the minimum MTU
stated in ethernet spec. In addition to that we need to add 4 bytes
for encapsulation header (IPOIB_ENCAP_LEN).

Before "ifconfig ib0 mtu 0" command, succeeds while it obviously shouldn't.
