OK, I see the bug, tunnel exact match lookup does not check fb tunnel.
There are two options.
1. Fix ip_tunnel_find() to check for fb tunnel.
2. Add fb tunnel to hash table, which is what ur patch does.
I think your patch is better solution as it get rid of special case.
But patch is not complete. It needs to remove fb tunnel checks on
netdev unregister.
