I see. The use case I had in mind is allowing to differentiate between
tunnels based on local IP, but not exposing the port sounds like
a good use case too.

If the socket is bound to a specific IP, i'm not sure you'd need to
change geneve{6}_lookup() - only packets matching that IP would arrive
there no? In that case I think the change you suggested to geneve_find_sock()
should be enough.

I haven't looked at the VXLAN code, but if the lookup is similar there
I would guess the same.

Eyal.
