26 * Skip any extension headers. This is used by the ICMP module.
28 * Note that strictly speaking this conflicts with RFC 2460 4.0:
29 * ...The contents and semantics of each extension header determine whether
30 * or not to proceed to the next header. Therefore, extension headers must
31 * be processed strictly in the order they appear in the packet; a
32 * receiver must not, for example, scan through a packet looking for a
33 * particular kind of extension header and process that header prior to
34 * processing all preceding ones.
36 * We do exactly this. This is a protocol bug. We can't decide after a
37 * seeing an unknown discard-with-error flavour TLV option if it's a
38 * ICMP error message or not (errors should never be send in reply to
39 * ICMP error messages).
41 * But I see no other way to do this. This might need to be reexamined
42 * when Linux implements ESP (and maybe AUTH) headers.
45 * This function parses (probably truncated) exthdr set "hdr".
46 * "nexthdrp" initially points to some place,
47 * where type of the first header can be found.
49 * It skips all well-known exthdrs, and returns pointer to the start
50 * of unparsable area i.e. the first header with unknown type.
51 * If it is not NULL *nexthdr is updated by type/protocol of this header.
53 * NOTES: - if packet terminated with NEXTHDR_NONE it returns NULL.
54 * - it may return pointer pointing beyond end of packet,
55 * if the last recognized header is truncated in the middle.
56 * - if packet is truncated, so that all parsed headers are skipped,
58 * - First fragment header is skipped, not-first ones
59 * are considered as unparsable.
60 * - ESP is unparsable for now and considered like
61 * normal payload protocol.
62 * - Note also special handling of AUTH header. Thanks to IPsec wizards.
