Is this a per packet call or is the information cached somewhere?

I thought about this (completely untested) one:
static void xfrm_confirm_neigh(const struct dst_entry *dst, const void
*daddr)
{
const struct dst_entry *dst = dst->child;
const struct xfrm_state *xfrm = dst->xfrm;
if (xfrm)
daddr = &xfrm->id.daddr;
dst->ops->confirm_neigh(dst, daddr);
}
Only the last dst_entry in this call chain (path) sould
not have dst->xfrm set. So it finally calls path->ops->confirm_neigh
with the daddr of the last transformation. But your version
should do the same.

Yes, the outer mode of the last transformation has the same
family as path.

Yes, indeed. We should do it like xfrm_dst_lookup() does it.

Yes, this should use dst->path of course. I really wonder why
nobody noticed this for the last five years.

This is correct.
