[PATCH] net:bridge:bridge mtu auto tuning does not always work

From: Huang Rui
Date: Tue Apr 09 2019 - 03:36:51 EST


If someone setup a bridge and add a port(for example: eth0)
into the bridge, but configure the bridge's mtu which is equal
to eth0's mtu, the auto tuning flag will not be set true. But
the meaning of the auto tuning flag is that it will be set true
if a user configure bridge's mtu.
