Hi,

While adding MIGRATE support to strongSwan, Andreas Steffen noticed that
the selectors provided in XFRM_MSG_ACQUIRE have their family field
uninitialized (those in MIGRATE do have their family set).

Looking at the code, this is because the af-specific init_tempsel()
(called via afinfo->init_tempsel() in xfrm_init_tempsel()) do not set
the value.

Even if current apps probably do not rely on it, is there any argument
for not doing it or is it just an omission?

The patch below is more for discussion than anything else.

Cheers,

a+
