Please use networking style comments like so /* ... */

Please align this to the opening brace of the if statement
like it is done everywhere in networking code. If you are
unsure about coding style, try checkpatch it helps in that
case.

Hm, shouldn't the xfrm_policy_check called along the
packet path for each round after decapsulation?

Do you use ESP transformation offload (INET_ESP_OFFLOAD/
INET6_ESP_OFFLOAD)?
