RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

screenshot of mtu in guest
Description of problem:
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win-prewhql
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot guest with virtio-net-pci and set host_mtu=4000:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-M pc \
-cpu host \
-enable-kvm \
-m 2G \
-smp 4,cores=4 \
-nodefconfig \
-rtc base=localtime,driftfix=slew \
-drive file=win2008-64-iso.qcow2,if=none,serial=virtioblk1,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,id=drive-virtio-disk0,aio=native \
-device ide-drive,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 \
-device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb \
-device usb-tablet,id=tablet0 \
-k en-us \
-qmp tcp:0:4444,server,nowait \
-boot menu=on \
-monitor stdio \
-cdrom en_windows_server_2008_datacenter_enterprise_standard_sp2_x64_dvd_342336.iso \
-fda virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-140_amd64.vfd \
-drive file=virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-140.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 \
-vnc 0.0.0.0:1 -vga std \
-netdev tap,id=hostnet1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,vhost=on -device virtio-net-pci,host_mtu=4000,netdev=hostnet1,mac=4e:63:28:bc:b1:01,id=net1
2.check guest mtu in cmd:
# netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces
3.check guest mtu in device manager:
device manger -> Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter -> advanced -> Init.MTUsize
Actual results:
after step2,guest mtu is 4000 as expected.
MTU MediaSenseState Bytes In Bytes Out Interface
------ --------------- --------- --------- -------------
4294967295 1 0 0 Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1
4000 1 18556 16682 Local Area Connection
after step3,guest mtu in device manager is 1500,not 4000
Expected results:
after step3,guest mtu in device manager should be same as host_mtu

This is by design.
We cannot fix or change dynamically the MTU setting in Windows.
According to new addition in virtio spec we will read host configuration and negotiate MTU using guest settings.
