  • This patch moves the setting of the IP length and checksum fields out of
    the transforms and into the xfrmX_output functions. This would help future
    efforts in merging the transforms themselves.

    It also adds an optimisation to ipcomp due to the fact that the transport
    offset is guaranteed to be zero.

  • The IPv6 calling convention for x->mode->output is more general and could
    help an eventual protocol-generic x->type->output implementation. This
    patch adopts it for IPv4 as well and modifies the IPv4 type output functions
    accordingly.

    It also rewrites the IPv6 mac/transport header calculation to be based off
    the network header where practical.

  • This patch changes the calling convention so that on entry from
    x->mode->output and before entry into x->type->output skb->data
    will point to the payload instead of the IP header.

    This is essentially a redistribution of skb_push/skb_pull calls
    with the aim of minimising them on the common path of tunnel +
    ESP.

    It'll also let us use the same calling convention between IPv4
    and IPv6 with the next patch.

  • The beet output function completely kills any extension headers by replacing
    them with the IPv6 header. This is because it essentially ignores the
    result of ip6_find_1stfragopt by simply acting as if there aren't any
    extension headers.

  • Current the x->mode->output functions store the IPv6 nh pointer in the
    skb network header. This is inconvenient because the network header then
    has to be fixed up before the packet can leave the IPsec stack. The mac
    header field is unused on output so we can use that to store this instead.

    This patch does that and removes the network header fix-up in xfrm_output.

    It also uses ipv6_hdr where appropriate in the x->type->output functions.

    There is also a minor clean-up in esp4 to make it use the same code as
    esp6 to help any subsequent effort to merge the two.

    Lastly it kills two redundant skb_set_* statements in BEET that were
    simply copied over from transport mode.

  • This patch introduces the BEET mode (Bound End-to-End Tunnel) with as
    specified by the ietf draft at the following link:

    http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-06.txt

    The patch provides only single family support (i.e. inner family =
    outer family).
