> [IPSEC]: Separate inner/outer mode processing on input
> 
> With inter-family transforms the inner mode differs from the outer mode.
> Attempting to handle both sides from the same function means that it
> needs to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 which creates duplication and confusion.
> 
> This patch separates the two parts on the input path so that each function
> deals with one family only.
> 
> In particular, the functions xfrm4_extract_inut/xfrm6_extract_inut
> moves the pertinent fields from the IPv4/IPv6 IP headers into a neutral
> format stored in skb->cb.  This is then used by the inner mode input
> functions to modify the inner IP header.  In this way the input function
> no longer has to know about the outer address family.
