As promised, some more comments: 1) Please, can you split out seperate patch for changes to net/ipv4/xfrm_user.c? They are independant. Kunihiro sent me identical patch, so please could you add him to credits in comment? Thank you. 2) I believe that net/ipv6/xfrm_policy.c is another area for more code sharing. Any time that I see removal of 'static', it is clue to me :-) Short term you can do as I suggested for secpath_cachep issue, that is to move this new code to net/ipv4/xfrm_policy.c as it is, conditionalized by CONFIG_IPV6 || CONFIG_IPV6_MODULE. Later we can work on increased code sharing here. 3) I noticed comment above transformation from explicit dst->output() call to dst_output(). It is not IPSEC issue, rather I believe that entire tree should have this conversion eventually. The concept of stackable destination cache entries is a generic one. 4) I believe some module symbol exports are missing to handle ipv6 as module. For example, for skb_ah_walk and skb_esp_walk. The rest of code looks fine to me. Now is not the time to get picky about small details, let us only get first draft basically correct.
