infinite loop in esp6_ctlinput()?

Dear all:

When receiving a "packet too big" ICMP error message, FreeBSD will call the ctlinput() function of the upper protocol. If the preceding packet is an ESP IPv6 packet, then FreeBSD will call esp6_ctlinput(). In esp6_ctlinput(), pfctlinput2() will be executed to traverse all possible upper protocols, and call their registered ctlinput() function. However, that would call esp6_ctlinput() again since ESP is one of the upper protocols! Then an infinite loop occurs!!

After comparing both IPSEC and FAST_IPSEC, the operations are exactly the same. Is it a bug?

Best regards,

Yi-Wen
