The following commit has been merged in the batadv/net branch: commit 45680d183b0dbcda1a65cb9bdf9c5251a4716e19 Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Wed Jul 19 10:01:15 2023 +0200

batman-adv: Don't increase MTU when set by user

If the user set an MTU value, it usually means that there are special requirements for the MTU. But if an interface gots activated, the MTU was always recalculated and then the user set value was overwritten.

The only reason why this user set value has to be overwritten, is when the MTU has to be decreased because batman-adv is not able to transfer packets with the user specified size.
