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.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

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.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

Renaming skb->h to skb->transport_header, skb->nh to skb->network_header and
skb->mac to skb->mac_header, to match the names of the associated helpers
(skb[_[re]set]_{transport,network,mac}_header).Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

For the places where we need a pointer to the transport header, it is
still legal to touch skb->h.raw directly if just adding to,
subtracting from or setting it to another layer header.Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

For the common, open coded 'skb->h.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->h.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.This one touches just the most simple cases:
skb->h.raw = skb->data;
skb->h.raw = {skb_push|[__]skb_pull}()The next ones will handle the slightly more "complex" cases.

Setting it to skb->h.raw, which is valid, in the (to become) old pointer based
world order and in the new world of offset based layer headers.Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

skb_push updates and returns skb->data, so we can just call
skb_reset_network_header after the call to skb_push.Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Expose IPSEC modes output path to take an xfrm state as input param.
This makes it consistent with the input mode processing (which already
takes the xfrm state as a param).Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim

Now that we have xfrm_mode objects we can move the transport mode specific
input decapsulation code into xfrm_mode_transport. This removes duplicate
code as well as unnecessary header movement in case of tunnel mode SAs
since we will discard the original IP header immediately.This also fixes a minor bug for transport-mode ESP where the IP payload
length is set to the correct value minus the header length (with extension
headers for IPv6).Of course the other neat thing is that we no longer have to allocate
temporary buffers to hold the IP headers for ESP and IPComp.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch adds the structure xfrm_mode. It is meant to represent
the operations carried out by transport/tunnel modes.By doing this we allow additional encapsulation modes to be added
without clogging up the xfrm_input/xfrm_output paths.Candidate modes include 4-to-6 tunnel mode, 6-to-4 tunnel mode, and
BEET modes.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
