pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2017-04-20
This adds the basic infrastructure for IPsec hardware
offloading, it creates a configuration API and adjusts
the packet path.
1) Add the needed netdev features to configure IPsec offloads.
2) Add the IPsec hardware offloading API.
3) Prepare the ESP packet path for hardware offloading.
4) Add gso handlers for esp4 and esp6, this implements
the software fallback for GSO packets.
5) Add xfrm replay handler functions for offloading.
6) Change ESP to use a synchronous crypto algorithm on
offloading, we don't have the option for asynchronous
returns when we handle IPsec at layer2.
7) Add a xfrm validate function to validate_xmit_skb. This
implements the software fallback for non GSO packets.
8) Set the inner_network and inner_transport members of
the SKB, as well as encapsulation, to reflect the actual
positions of these headers, and removes them only once
encryption is done on the payload.
From Ilan Tayari.
9) Prepare the ESP GRO codepath for hardware offloading.
10) Fix incorrect null pointer check in esp6.
From Colin Ian King.
11) Fix for the GSO software fallback path to detect the
fallback correctly.
From Ilan Tayari.
Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
