Hi,

We use linux containers in OVN that are configured with the reduced (from 1500) 
mtu 1442 to allow for geneve headers. Recently, I noticed some kernel logs such 
as:

dropped over-mtu packet: 2832 > 1442

The first number varies and is always higher than 1500. I noticed that 
genev_sys_6081 interface has mtu set to 65000! Even if I reduce it back to 
1500, the errors in the kernel logs stay. And if I restart ovs, it resets 
genev_sys_6081 mtu back to 65000.

Any explanation of the above?

OVS_VERSION="v2.15.0"
OVN_VERSION="v21.03.0"

OS: alpine-virt-3.13.5 with 5.10.38-0-virt kernel

Thanks.
