+ * Skip any extension headers. This is used by the ICMP module.
+ *
+ * Note that strictly speaking this conflicts with RFC 2460 4.0:
+ * ...The contents and semantics of each extension header determine whether
+ * or not to proceed to the next header. Therefore, extension headers must
+ * be processed strictly in the order they appear in the packet; a
+ * receiver must not, for example, scan through a packet looking for a
+ * particular kind of extension header and process that header prior to
+ * processing all preceding ones.
+ *
+ * We do exactly this. This is a protocol bug. We can't decide after a
+ * seeing an unknown discard-with-error flavour TLV option if it's a
+ * ICMP error message or not (errors should never be send in reply to
+ * ICMP error messages).
+ *
+ * But I see no other way to do this. This might need to be reexamined
+ * when Linux implements ESP (and maybe AUTH) headers.
+ * --AK
+ *
+ * This function parses (probably truncated) exthdr set "hdr"
+ * of length "len". "nexthdrp" initially points to some place,
+ * where type of the first header can be found.
+ *
+ * It skips all well-known exthdrs, and returns pointer to the start
+ * of unparsable area i.e. the first header with unknown type.
+ * If it is not NULL *nexthdr is updated by type/protocol of this header.
+ *
+ * NOTES: - if packet terminated with NEXTHDR_NONE it returns NULL.
+ * - it may return pointer pointing beyond end of packet,
+ * if the last recognized header is truncated in the middle.
+ * - if packet is truncated, so that all parsed headers are skipped,
+ * it returns NULL.
+ * - First fragment header is skipped, not-first ones
+ * are considered as unparsable.
+ * - ESP is unparsable for now and considered like
+ * normal payload protocol.
+ * - Note also special handling of AUTH header. Thanks to IPsec wizards.
