We are facing an issue while testing ICMP v6 (NAT) with ipsec tunnel,
where ping was not working , as policy is not matching (returning with
LINUX_MIB_XFRMINNOPOLS).

When we investigated and compared with IPv4 , it was found that,
nf_reset is happening before xfrm6_policy_check in case of IPV6
compared to IPV4 in which nf_reset is done after xfrm4_policy_check.

Due to nf_reset, skb->_nfct is  NULL and __xfrm_policy_check is returning error.

Can we know if there is any fix in this area, and why it’s different from IPv4.

Looks like a bug, can you submit a fix?
