Please check the source code. It is very clear.

rxe_notify is for netdevice event, not for rdma event.

Please check the following source code.

void rxe_set_mtu(struct rxe_dev *rxe, unsigned int ndev_mtu)

{
         struct rxe_port *port = &rxe->port;
         enum ib_mtu mtu;

         mtu = eth_mtu_int_to_enum(ndev_mtu);

         /* Make sure that new MTU in range */
         mtu = mtu ? min_t(enum ib_mtu, mtu, IB_MTU_4096) : IB_MTU_256;

         port->attr.active_mtu = mtu;
         port->mtu_cap = ib_mtu_enum_to_int(mtu);

         rxe_info_dev(rxe, "Set mtu to %d", port->mtu_cap);
}
