Hello Nicolas,

Thank you for your review.

true, I missed that one; I reworked to something like:

int mtu;

mtu = ETH_DATA_LEN;
if (t->parms.link) {
	tdev = __dev_get_by_index(t->net, t->parms.link);
	if (tdev && tdev->mtu < mtu)
		mtu = tdev->mtu;
}
dev->mtu = mtu - t_hlen;


However in ipip we do:

mtu -= (dev->hard_header_len + t_hlen);

Do I need to use hard_header_len as well?

Thanks,
