>Recently I encountered one case where I cannot increase the MTU size
>directly from 1500 to a much bigger value with XDP enabled if the server is
>equipped with IXGBE card, which happened on thousands of servers in
>production environment. After appling the current patch, we can set the

>This patch follows the behavior of changing MTU as i40e/ice does.
