Hi David

how do you think about adding function pointer to struct xfrm_mode?
when prefering xfrm_mode,there must be some ipsec codes in the generic ipv6 output
path,just like below.it looks ugly.

int ip6_append_data(struct sock *sk, int getfrag(void *from, char *to,
        int offset, int len, int odd, struct sk_buff *skb),
        void *from, int length, int transhdrlen,
        int hlimit, int tclass, struct ipv6_txoptions *opt, struct flowi6 *fl6,
        struct rt6_info *rt, unsigned int flags, int dontfrag)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_XFRM
        struct xfrm_state *x = rt->dst.xfrm;
        if (x && x->outer_mode && x->outer_mode->append_data) {
                x->outer_mode->append_data(...);
        } else
#endif
                __ip6_append_data(...);
}

I want to use one bit of rt6_info->rt6i_flags to identify the actions we should
do in ip6_append_data. BUT it seems not what the rt6i_flags should do.this may
make rt6i_flags in chaos.

What's your comment?
