That's not what I said.
I said that this interface is designed for situations where the neigh
update is appropriate, and that's what happens for most callers _except_
these tunnel cases.
The tunnel use is the exception and invoking the interface
inappropriately.
It is important to keep the neigh reachability fresh for TCP flows so
you cannot remove this dst_confirm_neigh() call.
Instead, make a new interface that the tunnel use cases can call into
to elide the neigh update.
Yes, this means you will have too update all of the tunnel callers
into these calls chains but that's the price we have to pay in this
situation unfortunately.
