30 * Skip any extension headers. This is used by the ICMP module.
31 *
32 * Note that strictly speaking this conflicts with RFC 2460 4.0:
33 * ...The contents and semantics of each extension header determine whether
34 * or not to proceed to the next header. Therefore, extension headers must
35 * be processed strictly in the order they appear in the packet; a
36 * receiver must not, for example, scan through a packet looking for a
37 * particular kind of extension header and process that header prior to
38 * processing all preceding ones.
39 *
40 * We do exactly this. This is a protocol bug. We can't decide after a
41 * seeing an unknown discard-with-error flavour TLV option if it's a
42 * ICMP error message or not (errors should never be send in reply to
43 * ICMP error messages).
44 *
45 * But I see no other way to do this. This might need to be reexamined
46 * when Linux implements ESP (and maybe AUTH) headers.
47 * --AK
48 *
49 * This function parses (probably truncated) exthdr set "hdr".
50 * "nexthdrp" initially points to some place,
51 * where type of the first header can be found.
52 *
53 * It skips all well-known exthdrs, and returns pointer to the start
54 * of unparsable area i.e. the first header with unknown type.
55 * If it is not NULL *nexthdr is updated by type/protocol of this header.
56 *
57 * NOTES: - if packet terminated with NEXTHDR_NONE it returns NULL.
58 * - it may return pointer pointing beyond end of packet,
59 * if the last recognized header is truncated in the middle.
60 * - if packet is truncated, so that all parsed headers are skipped,
61 * it returns NULL.
62 * - First fragment header is skipped, not-first ones
63 * are considered as unparsable.
64 * - Reports the offset field of the final fragment header so it is
65 * possible to tell whether this is a first fragment, later fragment,
66 * or not fragmented.
67 * - ESP is unparsable for now and considered like
68 * normal payload protocol.
69 * - Note also special handling of AUTH header. Thanks to IPsec wizards.
