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.
