Description

After upgrade to version 25, attempting to set the mtu value above 1500 in /etc/docker/daemon.json results in this error being thrown: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/46849/files#diff-77245372071f1b23e0b41e6ac4bd8212a33512dce6159146fff873d3da252c75R50

Even attempting to delete the device and any network information in docker data dir results in same error.

Setting a value less than 1500 works as expected and as described in #46849 (the device has the correct value even if no containers are attached).

Error Invalid Argument is same as trying to set value directly like:

➜  ~ sudo ip link set docker0 mtu 1501
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

Any value mtu <=1500 works ok and the daemon starts

    link/ether 02:42:75:6f:84:38 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Reproduce

  1. Stop docker daemon
  2. (Optional) Delete docker0 device to be sure it is created fresh
  3. Set a value mtu > 1500
  4. Start docker daemon

Expected behavior

Docker daemon should start and set the docker0 device MTU equal to whatever value was given, even if above 1500
