    [IPSEC]: Remove nhoff from xfrm_input · 60d5fcfb
    Herbert Xu authored
    The nhoff field isn't actually necessary in xfrm_input.  For tunnel
    mode transforms we now throw away the output IP header so it makes no
    sense to fill in the nexthdr field.  For transport mode we can now let
    the function transport_finish do the setting and it knows where the
    nexthdr field is.
    
    The only other thing that needs the nexthdr field to be set is the
    header extraction code.  However, we can simply move the protocol
    extraction out of the generic header extraction.
    
    We want to minimise the amount of info we have to carry around between
    transforms as this simplifies the resumption process for async crypto.
