[ICMP]: Ensure that ICMP relookup maintains status quo The ICMP relookup path is only meant to modify behaviour when appropriate IPsec policies are in place and marked as requiring relookups. It is certainly not meant to modify behaviour when IPsec policies don't exist at all. However, due to an oversight on the error paths existing behaviour may in fact change should one of the relookup steps fail. This patch corrects this by redirecting all errors on relookup failures to the previous code path. That is, if the initial xfrm_lookup let the packet pass, we will stand by that decision should the relookup fail due to an error. This should be safe from a security point-of-view because compliant systems must install a default deny policy so the packet would'nt have passed in that case. Many thanks to Julian Anastasov for pointing out this error. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
