This patch enables distinguishing SAs and SPs based on if_id during
the xfrm_migrate flow. This ensures support for xfrm interfaces
throughout the SA/SP lifecycle.
When there are multiple existing SPs with the same direction,
the same xfrm_selector and different endpoint addresses,
xfrm_migrate might fail with ENODATA.
Specifically, the code path for performing xfrm_migrate is:
Stage 1: find policy to migrate with
xfrm_migrate_policy_find(sel, dir, type, net)
Stage 2: find and update state(s) with
xfrm_migrate_state_find(mp, net)
Stage 3: update endpoint address(es) of template(s) with
xfrm_policy_migrate(pol, m, num_migrate)
Currently "Stage 1" always returns the first xfrm_policy that
matches, and "Stage 3" looks for the xfrm_tmpl that matches the
old endpoint address. Thus if there are multiple xfrm_policy
with same selector, direction, type and net, "Stage 1" might
rertun a wrong xfrm_policy and "Stage 3" will fail with ENODATA
because it cannot find a xfrm_tmpl with the matching endpoint
address.
The fix is to allow userspace to pass an if_id and add if_id
to the matching rule in Stage 1 and Stage 2 since if_id is a
unique ID for xfrm_policy and xfrm_state. For compatibility,
if_id will only be checked if the attribute is set.

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.
