Hi Greg,

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

Subject: [PATCH] geneve: update skb dst pmtu on tx path

Commit a93bf0ff4490 ("vxlan: update skb dst pmtu on tx path") has fixed
a performance issue caused by the change of lower dev's mtu for vxlan.

The same thing needs to be done for geneve as well.

Note that geneve cannot adjust it's mtu according to lower dev's mtu
when creating it. The performance is very low later when netperfing
over it without fixing the mtu manually. This patch could also avoid
this issue.

Oops, I completely missed that the coreos patch doesn't have the geneve hunk that is in the original 4.15 patch. I don't load the geneve module on my box hence why no problems surfaced on my machine.

Thanks Thomas for the correct instructions. Ignore my message Greg, I'll drop back into the shadows where I belong, sorry for the noise!
