Subject: Re: [PATCH ipsec-next 00/11] xfrm: remove xfrm_mode indirections

Hi Florian,

I ran the Android unit tests on these patches, based off ipsec-next,
and am encountering some new errors. I'll take another look to try and
isolate which patches might be causing the failures.

Best Regards,

Benedict Wong
