batman-adv: Fix hang up with small MTU hard-interface

commit b1cb8a71f1eaec4eb77051590f7f561f25b15e32 upstream.

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.
