Hi Greg,

first, we need to cherry-pick another patch first:

Then you can apply the following backport. A backport is required
because v4.15 has commit 77552cfa39c48e695c39d0553afc8c6018e411ce
which rewrote

> skb_dst(skb2)->ops->update_pmtu(skb_dst(skb2), NULL, skb2, rel_info);

into

> 		skb_dst(skb2)->ops->update_pmtu(skb_dst(skb2), NULL, skb2,
> 						rel_info);

in net/ipv6/ip6_tunnel.c which is missing:

Subject: net: don't call update_pmtu unconditionally

commit f15ca723c1ebe6c1a06bc95fda6b62cd87b44559 upstream.

Some dst_ops (e.g. md_dst_ops)) doesn't set this handler. It may result to:
"BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)"

Let's add a helper to check if update_pmtu is available before calling it.

Fixes: 52a589d51f10 ("geneve: update skb dst pmtu on tx path")
Fixes: a93bf0ff4490 ("vxlan: update skb dst pmtu on tx path")
