    xfrm: make local error reporting more robust · 628e341f
    Hannes Frederic Sowa authored
    In xfrm4 and xfrm6 we need to take care about sockets of the other
    address family. This could happen because a 6in4 or 4in6 tunnel could
    get protected by ipsec.
    
    Because we don't want to have a run-time dependency on ipv6 when only
    using ipv4 xfrm we have to embed a pointer to the correct local_error
    function in xfrm_state_afinet and look it up when returning an error
    depending on the socket address family.
    
    Thanks to vi0ss for the great bug report:
    <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58691>
    
    v2:
    a) fix two more unsafe interpretations of skb->sk as ipv6 socket
       (xfrm6_local_dontfrag and __xfrm6_output)
    v3:
    a) add an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(xfrm_local_error) to fix a link error when
       building ipv6 as a module (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
