I've checked the callers. There are two callers:
xfrm6_transport_output() and xfrm6_ro_output(). There are checks in
both function.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hdr_len = x->type->hdr_offset(x, skb, &prevhdr);
if (hdr_len < 0)
return hdr_len;

I can not understand what you mean about this comment.
Could you explain it in more detail.
