Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [IPSEC]: Reinject v6 packet on input instead of calling netfilter

This is the ipv6 version.
Derived from an earlier down-trodden patch from Herbert. We re-inject a decrypted ipsec back and let it bubble up the network stack. This improves packet debugability (since sniffers like tcpdump can see the packet) and ingress tc filters can act on it.

I think Yoshifuji had some objections to this because extension headers will be processed twice.

Evolution seems to have whitespace issues everytime i inlined the attachment; and Dave has been able to tolerate me doing this so far. I have just read it in

ah, i missed that part. Could you point to a specific portion? I wouldnt mind just ipv4 going in - but that would be lacking consistency. Is there anything that can be done to get the extension headers to be processed only once?

I used to work fine for me as well, the Debian switch to icedove broke it. Never mind, I'm sure its going to get fixed some day :)

I would prefer to keep things consistent between IPv4 and IPv6. Not sure if anything could be done, perhaps we could keep the necessary parts of the IP6CB and skip parsing up to the ESP nexthdr.

Makes sense.

I will compute in the background and talk to Yoshfuji (hopefully will bump into him next week;->). Herbert, if you have any clever ideas please shoot.
