Hi,

While adding MIGRATE support to strongSwan, Andreas Steffen noticed that
the selectors provided in XFRM_MSG_ACQUIRE have their family field
uninitialized (those in MIGRATE do have their family set).

Looking at the code, this is because the af-specific init_tempsel()
(called via afinfo->init_tempsel() in xfrm_init_tempsel()) do not set
the value.

Even if current apps probably do not rely on it, is there any argument
for not doing it or is it just an omission?

The patch below is more for discussion than anything else.

Cheers,

a+

We should ask the MIP6 folks since this may affect them.

Sorry Herbert, my initial comment was misleading: the family is not set
in the selectors provided in the *XFRM_MSG_ACQUIRE*, which is not MIPv6 
related. I could check again, but I think the patch below will impact
all native key managers. Or did I miss something and there is a specific
reason why MIPv6 folks may be impacted?

Indeed, you're right.  I was thinking of SA creation.

Applied to net-2.6, thanks.
