Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)

The kernel provides a "/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu" file, which can temporarily record the mtu value of the last received RA message when the RA mtu value is lower than the interface mtu, but this proc has following limitations: (1) when the interface mtu (/sys/class/net/<iface>/mtu) is updeated, mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu) will be updated to the value of interface mtu; (2) mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu) only affect ipv6 connection, and not affect ipv4. Therefore, when the mtu option is carried in the RA message, there will be a problem that the user sometimes cannot obtain RA mtu value correctly by reading mtu6. After this patch set, if a RA message carries the mtu option, you can send a netlink msg which nlmsg_type is RTM_GETLINK, and then by parsing the attribute of IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU to get the mtu value carried in the RA message received on the inet6 device. In addition, you can also get a link notification when ra_mtu is updated so it doesn't have to poll. In this way, if the MTU values that the device receives from the network in the PCO IPv4 and the RA IPv6 procedures are different, the user can obtain the correct ipv6 ra_mtu value and compare the value of ra_mtu and ipv4 mtu, then the device can use the lower MTU value for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
