Thanks.
Just to add some context about this issue.
This happens when doing in sequence
1) start ipv4 vxlan bpf tunnel
2) delete all related devices
3) start ipv6 vxlan bpf tunnel

The first ipv4 vxlan tunnel sets the ipv4 src ip in the ip_tunnel_key
and does not clear. So the 3) ipv6 vxlan bpf tunnel, uses the ipv4's
address as its ipv6 address.  As a result, vxlan driver reports
[81227.576732] ip6vxlan00: add 7a:2c:d7:fe:a9:43 ->
0000:0000:ac10:0164:0000:0000:0000:0000
[81237.614330] ip6vxlan00: no route to 0000:0000:ac10:0164:0000:0000:0000:0000
where "ac10:0164" is 172.16.1.200.

Similar issue when testing ipv4 geneve followed by ipv6 geneve.
