25 * Skip any extension headers. This is used by the ICMP module.
27 * Note that strictly speaking this conflicts with RFC 2460 4.0:
28 * ...The contents and semantics of each extension header determine whether
29 * or not to proceed to the next header. Therefore, extension headers must
30 * be processed strictly in the order they appear in the packet; a
31 * receiver must not, for example, scan through a packet looking for a
32 * particular kind of extension header and process that header prior to
33 * processing all preceding ones.
35 * We do exactly this. This is a protocol bug. We can't decide after a
36 * seeing an unknown discard-with-error flavour TLV option if it's a
37 * ICMP error message or not (errors should never be send in reply to
38 * ICMP error messages).
40 * But I see no other way to do this. This might need to be reexamined
41 * when Linux implements ESP (and maybe AUTH) headers.

44 * This function parses (probably truncated) exthdr set "hdr"
45 * of length "len". "nexthdrp" initially points to some place,
46 * where type of the first header can be found.
48 * It skips all well-known exthdrs, and returns pointer to the start
49 * of unparsable area i.e. the first header with unknown type.
50 * If it is not NULL *nexthdr is updated by type/protocol of this header.
52 * NOTES: - if packet terminated with NEXTHDR_NONE it returns NULL.
53 * - it may return pointer pointing beyond end of packet,
54 * if the last recognized header is truncated in the middle.
55 * - if packet is truncated, so that all parsed headers are skipped,
56 * it returns NULL.
57 * - First fragment header is skipped, not-first ones
58 * are considered as unparsable.
59 * - ESP is unparsable for now and considered like
60 * normal payload protocol.
61 * - Note also special handling of AUTH header. Thanks to IPsec wizards.
