The *net should just be devnet(dev).

Don't need ref here, called under RTNL.

You can't arbitrarly shrink user's requested mtu

Minor nit picking: I don't like adding more local flag variables.
To me it is clearer.

The resulting function is:


static int vxlan_change_mtu(struct net_device *dev, int new_mtu)
{
	struct vxlan_dev *vxlan = netdev_priv(dev);
	int maxmtu;
	struct net_device *lowerdev;

	lowerdev = __dev_get_by_index(devnet(dev), 
				      vxlan->default_dst.remote_ifindex);
	if (lowerdev == NULL)
		return eth_change_mtu(dev, new_mtu);

	if (dst->remote_ip.sa.sa_family == AF_INET6)
		maxmtu = lowerdev->mtu - VXLAN6_HEADROOM;
	else
		maxmtu = lowerdev->mtu - VXLAN_HEADROOM;

	if (new_mtu < 68 || new_mtu > maxmtu)
		return -EINVAL;

	dev->mtu = new_mtu;
	return 0;
}
