The IP Stack check IP headers & puts the packet in the correct socket, hence checking the ip headers again is reduntant correct?
In geneve & vxlan it is done the same way.

I had a look at the vxlan & geneve and it seems the corresponding functions  in those modules are tightly coupled  to the rest of the module design.
More specifically wrt the ttl inheritance & the caching behaviour. It may not be possible for those modules to use a new generic API unless without a change in those module design.

The bareudp module is a generic L3 encapsulation module. It could be used to tunnel different l3 protocols. TTL Inheritance behaviour when tunnelled
could be different for these inner protocols. Hence moving  this function to a common place will make it tough to change it later when a need arises for a new protocol

Otherwise we should have more generic function which takes the  generic IP header params as arguments. Then the point is we don’t need a function like that
We can just fill up "struct flowi4" and call ip_route_output_key or dst_cache_get_ip4 to get the route table entry
