SubjectRe: [PATCH] IPv6: Allow the MTU of ipip6 tunnel to be set below 1280
From
The ip6_tunnel.c module would be then dependent on ip_tunnel.c and may
be it would not be good thing?
As I have check in v3.10 there is no call from ip6_tunnel to ip_tunnel...

For information, there is no check for the maximum MTU for ipv4 in the
patch as this is not done for ipv6.

Regards,
Oussama
