Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/ipsec-next
Steffen Klassert says: ==================== pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2017-12-22 1) Separate ESP handling from segmentation for GRO packets. This unifies the IPsec GSO and non GSO codepath. 2) Add asynchronous callbacks for xfrm on layer 2. This adds the necessary infrastructure to core networking. 3) Allow to use the layer2 IPsec GSO codepath for software crypto, all infrastructure is there now. 4) Also allow IPsec GSO with software crypto for local sockets. 5) Don't require synchronous crypto fallback on IPsec offloading, it is not needed anymore. 6) Check for xdo_dev_state_free and only call it if implemented. From Shannon Nelson. 7) Check for the required add and delete functions when a driver registers xdo_dev_ops. From Shannon Nelson. 8) Define xfrmdev_ops only with offload config. From Shannon Nelson. 9) Update the xfrm stats documentation. From Shannon Nelson. Please pull or let me know if there are problems. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Transformation Statistics
-------------------------
-xfrm_proc is a statistics shown factor dropped by transformation
-for developer.
-It is a counter designed from current transformation source code
-and defined like linux private MIB.
-Inbound statistics

+The xfrm_proc code is a set of statistics showing numbers of packets
+dropped by the transformation code and why. These counters are defined
+as part of the linux private MIB. These counters can be viewed in
