flowi structure:



The secid member in the flow structure is used in LSMs (e.g. SELinux) to indicate

the label of the flow. This label of the flow is currently used in selecting

matching labeled xfrm(s).



If this is an outbound flow, the label is derived from the socket, if any, or

the incoming packet this flow is being generated as a response to (e.g. tcp

resets, timewait ack, etc.). It is also conceivable that the label could be

derived from other sources such as process context, device, etc., in special

cases, as may be appropriate.



If this is an inbound flow, the label is derived from the IPSec security

associations, if any, used by the packet.
