Artem Savkov reported that commit 5efec5c655dd leads to a packet loss under
IPSec configuration. It appears that his setup consists of a TUN device,
which does not have a MAC header.
Make sure MAC header exists.
Note: TUN device sets a MAC header pointer, although it does n

IPSec tunnel mode supports encapsulation of IPv4 over IPv6 and vice-versa.
The outer IP header is stripped and the inner IP inherits the original
Ethernet header. Tcpdump fails to properly decode the inner packet in
case that h_proto is different than the inner IP version.

Current code configures the hardware with a new SA before the state has been
fully initialized. During this time interval, an incoming ESP packet can cause
a crash due to a NULL dereference. More specifically, xfrm_input() considers
the packet as valid, and yet, anti-replay m

In conjunction with crypto offload [1], removing the ESP trailer by
hardware can potentially improve the performance by avoiding (1) a
cache miss incurred by reading the nexthdr field and (2) the necessity
to calculate the csum value of the trailer in order to keep skb->csum

IPv6 payload length indicates the size of the payload, including any
extension headers.
In xfrm6_transport_finish, ipv6_hdr(skb)->payload_len is set to the
payload size only, regardless of the presence of any extension headers.
After ESP GRO transport mode decapsulation, ipv

IP6CB(skb)->nhoff is the offset of the nexthdr field in an IPv6
header, unless there are extension headers present, in which case
nhoff points to the nexthdr field of the last extension header.
In non-GRO code path, nhoff is set by ipv6_rcv before any XFRM code
is executed.
