Generally, I've seen the usage of swss::exec to execute commands instead of direct system call. Can you check? Also, you could use stringstream for the command which would be convenient instead of allocating a buffer and then use snprintf
You could refer: IntfMgr::setIntfIp in intfmgr.cpp

Thanks Sunny.
Will check.

Hi @prsunny ,
Just updated the diff with exec. Thanks for your suggestion.
Please help review the latest diff.

Do you want to check for return value?.

Hi Sunny @prsunny ,
The return value will be checked inside swss::exec, if failed swss::exec will throw an error.
And most places calling swss::exec don't check the res except those show cmd.
some test log for the failure case.

What I did
Now, portsyncd is subscribed to config DB, and use handlePortConfig to copy port config from config DB to APP DB. Here, we also need to update the host interfaces MTU in linux kernel if the port config changes.
Why I did it
Otherwise, there will be discrepancy between linux kernel MTU and port MTU in config DB/app DB.
How I verified it
Update the port inside config_db.json file with new mtu field, and verify both kernel MTU and ASIC port MTU has been updated properly.
Details if related
This pull request require the following pull request
sonic-net/sonic-buildimage#1128
With both changes, the MTU from config DB will be the only source for Kernel MTU and port MTU on ASIC.
