    ipv6: Consolidate route lookup sequences. · 68d0c6d3
    David S. Miller authored
    Route lookups follow a general pattern in the ipv6 code wherein
    we first find the non-IPSEC route, potentially override the
    flow destination address due to ipv6 options settings, and then
    finally make an IPSEC search using either xfrm_lookup() or
    __xfrm_lookup().
    
    __xfrm_lookup() is used when we want to generate a blackhole route
    if the key manager needs to resolve the IPSEC rules (in this case
    -EREMOTE is returned and the original 'dst' is left unchanged).
    
    Otherwise plain xfrm_lookup() is used and when asynchronous IPSEC
    resolution is necessary, we simply fail the lookup completely.
    
    All of these cases are encapsulated into two routines,
    ip6_dst_lookup_flow and ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow.  The latter of which
    handles unconnected UDP datagram sockets.
