The known failure is for the "check-kernel" GENEVE tests. It affects the
rtnetlink interface, but it will fallback to the compat interface and
therefore the test case should still pass (assuming vport-geneve.ko is
available).

I just ran "check" on a RHEL-7 based VM with a 4.12-rc1 kernel. The
tests you mention above passed.

Are you still seeing failures after a re-run?

Thanks.
