This patch adds all the bits that are needed to do
IPsec hardware offload for IPsec states and ESP packets.
We add xfrmdev_ops to the net_device. xfrmdev_ops has
function pointers that are needed to manage the xfrm
states in the hardware and to do a per packet
offloading decision.

Commit 044a832a77 ("xfrm: Fix local error reporting crash
with interfamily tunnels") moved the setting of skb->protocol
behind the last access of the inner mode family to fix an
interfamily crash. Unfortunately now skb->protocol might not
be set at all, so we fail dispatch to the inner address family.
As a reault, the local error handler is not called and the
mtu value is not reported back to userspace.
We fix this by setting skb->protocol on message size errors
before we call xfrm_local_error.

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter. Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.
As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.
To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks. At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.
This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state->net".
In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.
The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume() xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp)

br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev
In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)". I am documenting them in case something odd

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts. First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.
And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.
We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.
The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device. We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

We set the outer mode protocol too early. As a result, the
local error handler might dispatch to the wrong address family
and report the error to a wrong socket type. We fix this by
setting the outer protocol to the skb after we accessed the
inner mode for the last time, right before we do the atcual
encapsulation where we switch finally to the outer mode.

2) vti4 counts some header lengths twice leading to an incorrect

3) We don't catch the case if an unsupported protocol is submitted

transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via

The dst->output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk'

The ipv6 xfrm output path is not aware that packets can be
rerouted by NAT to not use IPsec. We crash in this case
because we expect to have a xfrm state at the dst_entry.
This crash happens if the ipv6 layer does IPsec and NAT
or if we have an interfamily IPsec tunnel with ipv4 NAT.
We fix this by checking for a NAT rerouted packet in each
address family and dst_output() to the new destination
in this case.

As it is, we assign the outer modes output function to the dst entry
when we create the xfrm bundle. This leads to two problems on interfamily
scenarios. We might insert ipv4 packets into ip6_fragment when called
from xfrm6_output. The system crashes if we try to fragment an ipv4
packet with ip6_fragment. This issue was introduced with git commit
ad0081e4 (ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets
as needed). The second issue is, that we might insert ipv4 packets in
netfilter6 and vice versa on interfamily scenarios.
With this patch we assign the inner mode output function to the dst entry
when we create the xfrm bundle. So xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output from the inner
mode is used and the right fragmentation and netfilter functions are called.

The nhoff field isn't actually necessary in xfrm_input. For tunnel

The only other thing that needs the nexthdr field to be set is the

With inter-family transforms the inner mode differs from the outer
mode. Attempting to handle both sides from the same function means
that it needs to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 which creates duplication
and confusion.
This patch separates the two parts on the output path so that each
function deals with one family only.
In particular, the functions xfrm4_extract_output/xfrm6_extract_output
moves the pertinent fields from the IPv4/IPv6 IP headers into a
neutral format stored in skb->cb. This is then used by the outer mode
output functions to write the outer IP header. In this way the output
function no longer has to know about the inner address family.
Since the extract functions are only called by tunnel modes (the only
modes that can support inter-family transforms), I've also moved the
xfrm*_tunnel_check_size calls into them. This allows the correct ICMP
message to be sent as opposed to now where you might call icmp_send
with an IPv6 packet and vice versa.

This patch adds a new field to xfrm states called inner_mode. The existing

This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms. As it
is we always use the outer family when determining which mode to use. As a
result we may end up shoving IPv4 packets into netfilter6 and vice versa.
What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound
processing and the outer family for the second part. For inbound processing
we'd use the opposite pairing.
I've also added a check to prevent silly combinations such as transport mode
with inter-family transforms.
