Public bug reported:
* Explain the bug(s)
commit a3ca11eec78 introduced a flags validity check for XFRM , the check
excluded flag XFRM_OFFLOAD_FULL from the check hence the flag is being blocked
from getting to the kernel space.
The above is preventing IPsec states from being added with the full_offload
option.
* Brief explanation of fixes
The commit restricted unknown flags from being configured from user space by
adding a validity check,
since the Bluefield feature added such a flag , the fix expands the validity
check to include this flag which is added
only in Bluefield kernel .
* How to test
Need to make sure that configuring IPsec with full_offload option using
IProute2 can be done successfully with no issues.
(Not getting the RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument error anymore)
* What it could break.
NA, this patch allows a specific flag to get passed to the kernel space, the
kernel was using this flag already however after validity check got introduced
the flag just got blocked from getting to the kernel.
