RFC 4303 in section 3.3.3 suggests to disable anti-replay for manually distributed ICVs in which case the sender does not need to monitor or reset the counter. However, the sender still increments the counter and when it reaches the maximum value, the counter rolls over back to zero. This patch introduces new extra_flag XFRM_SA_XFLAG_OSEQ_MAY_WRAP which allows sequence number to cycle in outbound packets if set. This flag is used only in legacy and bmp code, because esn should not be negotiated if anti-replay is disabled (see note in 3.3.3 section). Signed-off-by: Petr Vaněk <redacted>
Now applied to ipsec-next, thanks a lot!
