    xfrm: introduce oseq-may-wrap flag · 428d2459
    Petr Vaněk authored
    RFC 4303 in section 3.3.3 suggests to disable anti-replay for manually
    distributed ICVs in which case the sender does not need to monitor or
    reset the counter. However, the sender still increments the counter and
    when it reaches the maximum value, the counter rolls over back to zero.
    
    This patch introduces new extra_flag XFRM_SA_XFLAG_OSEQ_MAY_WRAP which
    allows sequence number to cycle in outbound packets if set. This flag is
    used only in legacy and bmp code, because esn should not be negotiated
    if anti-replay is disabled (see note in 3.3.3 section).
