Eric Dumazet 132da31a0b ipv6: Limit mtu to 65575 bytes ... [ Upstream commit 30f78d8ebf ] Francois reported that setting big mtu on loopback device could prevent tcp sessions making progress. We do not support (yet ?) IPv6 Jumbograms and cook corrupted packets. We must limit the IPv6 MTU to (65535 + 40) bytes in theory. Tested: ifconfig lo mtu 70000 netperf -H ::1 Before patch : Throughput : 0.05 Mbits After patch : Throughput : 35484 Mbits Reported-by: Francois WELLENREITER <f.wellenreiter@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
