xfrm: Add dir validation to "in" data path lookup
Introduces validation for the x->dir attribute within the XFRM input data lookup path. If the configured direction does not match the expected direction, input, increment the XfrmInStateDirError counter and drop the packet to ensure data integrity and correct flow handling. grep -vw 0 /proc/net/xfrm_stat XfrmInStateDirError 1 Signed-off-by: Antony Antony <antony.antony@secunet.com> Reviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@queasysnail.net> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
