3.16.76-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx> commit b8d6d0079757cbd1b69724cfd1c08e2171c68cee upstream. After commit b38ff4075a80, the following command does not work anymore: $ ip xfrm state add src 10.125.0.2 dst 10.125.0.1 proto esp spi 34 reqid 1 \ mode tunnel enc 'cbc(aes)' 0xb0abdba8b782ad9d364ec81e3a7d82a1 auth-trunc \ 'hmac(sha1)' 0xe26609ebd00acb6a4d51fca13e49ea78a72c73e6 96 flag align4 In fact, the selector is not mandatory, allow the user to provide an empty selector.
