Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: Fix hang up with small MTU hard-interface
Date:   Sat, 20 Aug 2022 12:25:16 +0900

The system hangs up when batman-adv soft-interface is created on
hard-interface with small MTU.  For example, the following commands
create batman-adv soft-interface on dummy interface with zero MTU:

  # ip link add name dummy0 type dummy
  # ip link set mtu 0 dev dummy0
  # ip link set up dev dummy0
  # ip link add name bat0 type batadv
  # ip link set dev dummy0 master bat0

These commands cause the system hang up with the following messages:

  [   90.578925][ T6689] batman_adv: bat0: Adding interface: dummy0
  [   90.580884][ T6689] batman_adv: bat0: The MTU of interface dummy0 is too small (0) to handle the transport of batman-adv packets. Packets going over this interface will be fragmented on layer2 which could impact the performance. Setting the MTU to 1560 would solve the problem.
  [   90.586264][ T6689] batman_adv: bat0: Interface activated: dummy0
  [   90.590061][ T6689] batman_adv: bat0: Forced to purge local tt entries to fit new maximum fragment MTU (-320)
  [   90.595517][ T6689] batman_adv: bat0: Forced to purge local tt entries to fit new maximum fragment MTU (-320)
  [   90.598499][ T6689] batman_adv: bat0: Forced to purge local tt entries to fit new maximum fragment MTU (-320)

This patch fixes this issue by returning error when enabling
hard-interface with small MTU size.
