[ Upstream commit f015b900bc3285322029b4a7d132d6aeb0e51857 ]
With offloading enabled, esp_xmit() gets invoked very late, from within
validate_xmit_xfrm() which is after validate_xmit_skb() validates and
linearizes the skb if the underlying device does not support fragments.
esp_output_tail() may add a fragment to the skb while adding the auth
tag/ IV. Devices without the proper support will then send skb->data
points to with the correct length so the packet will have garbage at the
end. A pcap sniffer will claim that the proper data has been sent since
it parses the skb properly.
It is not affected with INET_ESP_OFFLOAD disabled.
Linearize the skb after offloading if the sending hardware requires it.
It was tested on v4, v6 has been adopted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
