XFRM bundle child chains look like this: xdst1 --> xdst2 --> xdst3 --> path_dst All of xdstN are xfrm_dst objects and xdst->u.dst.xfrm is non-NULL. The final child pointer in the chain, here called 'path_dst', is some other kind of route such as an ipv4 or ipv6 one. The xfrm output path pops routes, one at a time, via the child pointer, until we hit one which has a dst->xfrm pointer which is NULL. We can easily preserve the above mechanisms with child sitting only in the xfrm_dst structure. All children in the chain before we break out of the xfrm_output() loop have dst->xfrm non-NULL and are therefore xfrm_dst objects. Since we break out of the loop when we find dst->xfrm NULL, we will not try to dereference 'dst' as if it were an xfrm_dst. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
