    net/mlx5e: Max mtu comparison fix

    On change mtu the driver compares between hardware queried mtu and
    software requested mtu. We need to compare between software
    representation of the queried mtu and the requested mtu.

I built a Wily test kernel with a cherry-pick of commit 50a9eea from mainline. The test kernel can be downloaded from:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1528466/

Can you test this kernel and confirm it resolves this bug?

Also, commit 50a9eea was applied to mainline in v4.4-rc2. Commit 50a9eea states that it fixes commit facc9699f0, which was added to mainline in v4.2-rc1. That is how this bug was introduced in to Wily and the linux-lts-wily kernels. In addition, the file that is changed by commit 50a9eea is:

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_main.c

This file was not added until v4.2-rc1 by commit f62b8bb.

I'd just like to confirm you are only requesting this fix in Wily and the HWE kernels in Trusty?

Thank You,

Tested on 15.10 and it's working proberly.
you are right, need to fix this in Wily and HWE kernels in Trusty.
