Had a quick look and it seems pretty good job! I am also curious that why did you end up implementing shim6 completely in kernelspace? Can you give simple HOWTO instructions on testing the code? Have you tested it also with different IPsec modes? You should probably change the __barre_ texts to "#if defined (CONFIG_SHIM6) || defined(CONFIG_SHIM6_MODULE)" and make the appropiate options available through Kconfig and Makefile. And please upgrade the code to the latest version of kernel source code. A crazy idea: have you considered also if part of the SHIM6 could be somehow integrated better into the XFRM architecture? -- Miika Komu http://www.iki.fi/miika/
