fixed in v11.

this code already executed from xfrm_state_construct.
We could set the in flag in xuo when x->dir == XFRM_SA_DIR_IN, let me think 
again.  May be we can do that later:)

you are right. It is a wrong text due to copy paste.

I agree. Your message and Steffen's message helped me figure out,
how to allow replay-window zero for output SA;
It is in v11.

Your proposal would introduce redundant code, requiring accessing attributes 
in verify_newsa_info() and other functions.

The way I propsed, a state x,  xfrm_state, is created but it remains 
km.stae=XFRM_STATE_VOID.
Newely added verify is before auditing and generating new genid changes, 
xfrm_state_add() or xfrm_state_update() would be called later. So deleteing 
a state just after xfrm_staet_constructi() is not  bad!

So I think the current code is cleaner, avoiding the need redundant code in 
verify_newsa_info().

thanks, this is much better.

I still don't see how to add such a check to about 20 functions. A burte 
force method would be 18-20 times copy code bellow, with different extack 
message.

I am still trying to figure out netlink examples, including the ones you 
pointed out : rtnl_valid_dump_net_req, rtnl_net_valid_getid_req.
I wonder if there is a way to specifiy rejeced attributes per method.

may be there is  way to call nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict()
with .type = NLA_REJECT.

And also this looks like a general cleanup up to me. I wonder how Steffen 
would add such a check for the upcoming PCPU attribute! Should that be 
prohibited DELSA or XFRM_MSG_FLUSHSA or DELSA?
